CEO of $4,400,000,000,000 company only has one regret and it's buying a car for his parents

The CEO of a $4.4 billion company has only one regret, and it’s that he bought a car for his parents.

Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia Corp, is one of the richest people in the world, with a net worth of $164.1 billion.

For all that success, you’d imagine he’d be living with no regrets – but there is one thing that he would have done differently.

And no, it wasn’t a business decision – it involved his parents and a Mercedes.

The CEO of Nvidia has a lot to be proud of in his life…but buying his parents a Mercedes is something he regrets

Nvidia is a success story in the world of tech, driving forward advances in AI, gaming, robotics, and autonomous vehicles.

We’ve seen that plenty of times in recent years, whether it was Will.i.am checking out the company’s ‘brain on wheels’, or the recent unveiling at the 2026 CES.

It’s made its CEO, Jensen Huang, a very rich man.

But with all that money comes a lot of life experiences – and that involves a lot of highs, as well as some lows.

During a conversation with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink at the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum, Huang opened up about one regret.

Shortly after the company went public in 1999, giving shareholders annualized returns of between 30 and 37 percent.

With this sudden uptick, Huang sold his shares and bought his parents a luxury Mercedes S-Class.

Sounds like a nice gesture, right?

Well, it wasn’t without its downsides, let’s just say.

“My only regret was after the IPO – I wanted to buy my parents something nice, so I sold Nvidia stock at a valuation of $300 million,” Huang recalled.

“They regret it.” 

They still have the car, though.

In fairness, it’s not so much the car that his parents have misgivings about; it’s that he sold his shares so early on.

Those shares would be worth a whole lot more now if he’d held onto them.

But it’s not exactly like he’s wanting for money, to be fair.

It’s nice to treat your parents to a car

Oftentimes, we’ll see parents buying cars for their kids.

It almost feels like a rite of passage.

But more and more, we’re seeing adult kids splashing out and treating their parents to a new set of wheels.

And sometimes the car isn’t exactly new – this Floridian reunited his dad with a Lamborghini that had been lost for 55 years.

But some reactions don’t always pan out as one might have hoped.

Let’s just say that this dad didn’t react positively to a new Ferrari Roma.
