Nvidia is now worth $102M per employee (sherwood.news)

"...For Nvidia, after this latest run-up took it north of the $3T milestone, the company is being valued at more than $100M for each of its 29,600 employees (per its filing that counted up to the end of Jan 2024).

That’s more than 5x any of its big tech peers, and hundreds of times higher than more labor-intensive companies like Walmart and Amazon. It is worth noting that Nvidia has very likely done some hiring since the end of January — I think the company might be in growth mode — but even if the HR department has been working non-stop, Nvidia will still be a major outlier on this simple measure.

We are running out of ways to describe Nvidia’s recent run... but a nine-figure valuation per employee is a new one."

"Are the employees gonna see a cent of this?"
"Fuck, no!"

Well, they technically will see SOME cents of this because I'm pretty sure Nvidia gives employees stocks too.

But yeah, I also posted this because it's a clear illustration of how most salaries will never reflect the value your labour brings to an organization.

Or more accurately, it's a clear illustration of how overvalued they are right now.

But as the saying goes, the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.
