He was worth an estimated four billion dollars ranked number 546 richest on Forbes's world billionaires list Just over a year ago.

彼の資産は推定40億ドルで、フォーブスの世界億万長者番付では546位にランクされている。

He was worth 21 billion dollars ranked number 76 in the world Now with NVIDIA's market capitalization surpassing 3.2 trillion dollars He's the number 12 richest person on earth worth 115 billion dollars mostly thanks to his nearly 4% stake in the company While Huang is the best-known shareholder of NVIDIA.

現在、エヌビディアの時価総額は3兆2,000億ドルを超え、地球上で最も裕福な人物の第12位となっている。

There are plenty of others who have personally benefited from the rising stock Among the biggest gainers are five other top executives including chief financial officer Colette Kress and general counsel Tim Teeter Plus four independent board members who together own more than 10 billion dollars worth of stock One of those board members is billionaire Mark Stevens who first got involved with NVIDIA in 1993 the same year the fledgling chip company was founded He was a newish partner at Sequoia when the firm's founder Don Valentine got a call from LSI logic founder Wilfred Wilf Corrigan According to Stevens Corrigan told Valentine quote, there's this kid who works at LSI and I'm sorry to see him go You guys should look at him Valentine and Stevens met with Huang who pitched them on the idea of a company designing 3d graphics chips for PC games Steven says quote and we thought intriguing Sequoia put 1 million dollars into the company part of an investment that valued the firm at just 7 million dollars according to pitch book Stevens who had worked at Intel and was Sequoia's young semiconductor expert joined the NVIDIA board He left in 2006 at a time when Sequoia partners were stepping off public company boards to focus on private companies In 2008 Stevens began to wind down at Sequoia and Huang invited him to rejoin the board Largely because of Sequoia's early investment Stevens now owns five billion dollars worth of NVIDIA shares Current venture capitalist and former tech executive Brooke Sewell was convinced by another tech executive Harvey Jones to join NVIDIA's board in 1997 the two men got to know each other while Sewell was senior vice president of finance and operations at Synopsys where Jones was CEO Sewell recalls that NVIDIA quote was in the graphics semiconductor space Which was a hyper competitive space and the CEO was barely over 30 He hadn't even been a VP before he founded the company.

エヌビディアの株価上昇から個人的に利益を得ている人たちは他にもたくさんいる。スティーブンスによると、コリガンはバレンタインにこう言ったという、LSIで働いている子供がいるが、彼がいなくなるのは残念だ。ピッチ・ブックによると、セコイアはこの会社に100万ドルを出資したが、その額はわずか700万ドルだった。スティーブンスはインテルで働いており、セコイアの若き半導体専門家としてエヌビディアの取締役会に加わった。スティーブンスは現在、50億ドル相当のエヌビディア株を保有している。 現在のベンチャーキャピタリストで

I looked at it and said boy, this doesn't seem likely however Jones who joined the board in 1993 was persuasive and NVIDIA was in search of someone with expertise in finance and taking a company public Which Sewell had done at Synopsys?

しかし、1993年に取締役に就任したジョーンズは説得力があり、エヌビディアは財務と株式公開の専門家を探していた。

Sewell now owns 700 million dollars of its shares Early on it wasn't so obvious that NVIDIA would end up doing so well NVIDIA's first chip released in 1995 had failed Partway through developing its second chip Huang and the team decided the architecture was all wrong And they stopped work on it according to a podcast from the VC firm Sequoia Board member Stevens says quote between 1993 and 1997.

VCセコイアのスティーブンス取締役は、1993年から1997年にかけてのことをこう語っている。

We almost went bankrupt three times NVIDIA turned things around and its third chip was a success in the early 2000s Developed the world's first graphics processing unit or GPU which became hugely popular for rendering images in video games in the past decade or so NVIDIA found that AI researchers in both the corporate and academic worlds were using its GPUs to run neural networks a foundation of AI and to create homegrown supercomputers That helped fuel the decision to bet on AI computing before there was a demonstrated market That bet has paid off in spades For full coverage and to see our list of the 10 current NVIDIA directors and executives Who have gotten the richest from their holdings and share sales, which are up a cumulative 36 billion dollars in the past month Check out Phoebe Lu and Carrie a Dolan's piece on Forbes.com This is Kieran Meadows from Forbes.

NVIDIAは3度倒産寸前まで追い込まれたが、2000年代初頭に事態を好転させ、3つ目のチップを成功させた。NVIDIAは世界初のグラフィック・プロセッシング・ユニット（GPU）を開発し、過去10年ほどの間にビデオゲームの画像レンダリング用として大人気となった。エヌビディアは、企業や学界のAI研究者たちが、AIの基盤であるニューラルネットワークを実行し、国産のスーパーコンピュータを作成するために、自社のGPUを使用していることを発見した。それが、市場が実証される前にAIコンピューティングに賭ける決断を後押
