Eric Gullichsen, who served on Nvidia's Technical Advisory Board from 1993 to 1996, says he was granted 25,000 stock options but only 15,625 vested before he left, due to a discrepancy over whether his options were meant to vest quarterly or annually. He argues that after 30 years of stock splits, the missing 9,375 options would now be worth roughly $1 billion, and he is disputing Nvidia's account of the vesting terms.

Nvidia announced a new $150 billion share repurchase authorization on Monday, adding to the $80 billion buyback plan it revealed in May alongside a dividend increase to 25 cents per share from 1 cent. The move comes as Nvidia's forward price-to-earnings ratio has fallen to 14.5, well below its five-year average of 62.9, even as analysts project net income near $385 billion in fiscal 2028.

Eric Gullichsen, a former Nvidia Technical Advisory Board member, says a 1993 stock option grant he re-examined in 2024 shows a one-year vesting schedule rather than the four years he was told, meaning 9,375 additional shares should have vested. After accounting for Nvidia's stock splits, he calculates this discrepancy would now be worth roughly $1 billion. He says he and his lawyer concluded the statute of limitations likely barred any legal claim.

An excerpt from Kevin Roose's upcoming book The AGI Chronicles describes a contentious May 2022 dinner between Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei over Anthropic's chip needs. The book alleges Huang called Anthropic's compute chief a 'bean counter' after being shown data favoring Google's TPUs, and that Amodei later described Huang as 'kind of Trump-like' for repeating himself. Nvidia disputes the 'bean counter' remark, and despite the rocky start, the two companies eventually formed a partnership.
