What is a luxury car's worth of Nvidia stock in 1999 worth today?

Isn't this the same motherfucker who pranced around on stage last year, showing off his new $10k leather jacket? Seems like he doesn't actually have any financial concerns.

I have no issues with Huang buying a $10 K leather jacket or him buying a $20 K designer dress for his wife. It's his right. Whatever, it's not that big of a deal.

But the whole conservation about the worth of the S-Class in 1999 is honestly bordering on full on degeneracy.

This is how we know American oligarchs have crossed the metaphorical event horizon.

I will note that you'll never find a russian oligarch complaining about buying their parents/relatives a nice house or whatever in 1999 that could have been invested into something else. It is a very human thing to buy your parents something nice when you have a windfall of money (irrespective of who you are and what your ethical framework is like).

On the other hand, Huang's theorycrafting about investing the 1999 cost of the S-class shows a lack of humanity. One could argue it is a sign of mental illness or severe maladjustment somewhat comparable to having a long term heroin addiction. Huang has more than enough resources for the S-class cost to never even cross his mind and yet he publicly brought it up in a very pompous and almost child-like manner.

Guy with $100 billion (or whatever) laments that he could have had $101.3 billion if only. Talk about first word problems.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, jensen.

I would cum blood seeing that car going over packs and packs of nvidia videocards.
