At Nvidia’s AI Summit in Tokyo, CEO Jensen Huang revealed a story that stunned the crowd. Nearly a decade ago, Softbank’s Masayoshi Son offered to lend him the money to buy Nvidia outright.⁠ ⁠ “Masa said, ‘Jensen, the market doesn’t understand the value of Nvidia. Your future is incredible. Let me give you the money to buy Nvidia.’ Now I regret not taking it,” Huang recalled.⁠ ⁠ The conversation happened just after Son’s Softbank bought Arm Holdings for $32 billion in 2016. At the time, Softbank even owned 5% of Nvidia but sold its stake for under $4 billion. Today, that same stake would be worth around $178 billion.⁠ ⁠ The missed opportunity has since become one of tech’s most expensive “what ifs” and Huang isn’t letting anyone forget it.⁠ ⁠ 📽️ Video by: Gabriel Jung⁠ 🤳 Click our link in bio to sign up for our daily newsletter⁠ 📰 Follow us for the latest Asian news NextShark⁠ ⁠ #jensenhuang #nvidia #masayoshison #softbank #armholdings #ai #technews #techbillionaires #asiancelebrity...
