The pay package of Nvidia Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang jumped 46% to nearly $50 million in fiscal 2025 after the company he co-founded became the top beneficiary of an artificial intelligence spending boom.

Huang’s compensation is up from $34.2 million in the prior year, mainly due to the soaring value of his stock awards. The salary portion of his pay increased to almost $1.5 million, up from $996,514 the prior year, the company said in a regulatory filing.
