Bay Area tech CEO worth $35 billion says ‘suffering’ wasn’t worth it::Jensen Huang, a Bay Area CEO worth more than $35 billion, said he wouldn’t again go through ‘pain and suffering’ of being a startup founder at Nvidia.
Title is a bit rough. He’s just saying he lost 30 years of his life to work.
A billion a year is something most people would trade for.
I mean, I’d be done after 1, but hey, that’s just me.
You don’t get a billion in year 1. You have to grow the business over many years until it starts to pump out cash like that.
True but the moment I got a billion I’d be out
I’d be thinking about whether I had enough money to cruise at like the $10m mark. Maybe I’d stick around a bit longer than that, but $1b is entirely too much money.
Hey, same here …checks bank account for $35B … still nope
EVERYONE loses 30 years to “work”. So?? Give me 35 billion I’ll co.pain too I guess.
Millions work much more for much less. Such ungratefulness, he could had stopped years ago, not many have that luxury.
Yeah but now he’s worth 35 billion. He could set a million dollars on fire every day for the next 50 years and still have another million to spend that day. Life doesn’t get much more meaningful than that. /s
Capitalist problems. I bet he won’t give any money away though
I mean, I agree, I’m not going to be losing any sleep worrying about the unsatisfied billionaires. But what he’s saying is that given the cost (losing 30 years of his life) the ‘reward’ ($35 billion) wasn’t enough. He’s not saying he doesn’t like or want the money, he’s saying its not enough to give up your life for.
If anything, it would explain why rich people keep pursuing money long after any sane person would be content with their millions/billions. Maybe if you just get given a few million you could be satisfied with it, but if you’ve had to sacrifice your life, friends, morality and so on to get it… And you realise it doesn’t actually make you happy, so you keep chasing more, hoping that eventually enough will be enough. Better that than realising you’re an idiot who fell for capitalism’s big lie and gave up the stuff that actually mattered in life to get more numbers on a sheet.
The cynical side of me would say that he says this to have less competition in the future.
My empathetic side, which is much larger, agrees with you.
But, why not both?
There is one easy way to fix that, maybe 2 ways
Must be real hard to make decisions at Nvidia when you’re almost a monopoly and have the power to tell consumers what they are going to pay for products that get comparatively weaker each generation.
Being so unpleasant to work with one of their partners decided to just drop the bulk of their revenue so they didn’t have to work with them anymore might also make things more difficult.
Sad evga sounds. I still await their partnership with AMD. It would be a shame to let all that knowledge and talent fade away.
i mean is it hard to just name Jensen, espeically since hes now in the club of CEO of trillion dollar company house which the list is very very short.
