Early Nvidia Investors See Multi-Million Dollar Returns by 2024
Two long-term Nvidia investors, orthodontist Jim Woods and psychology professor Mark Hatala, saw significant returns from early investments made in 2000 and 2002 respectively. Woods's initial $65,000 grew to $15 million by 2024, while Hatala's $2,000 investment, supplemented over time, reached over $1 million. Both benefited from Nvidia's evolution from a graphics card maker to a key supplier for artificial intelligence chips, with the stock experiencing substantial growth, especially since 2019.
