Nvidia CEO Huang sells $15 million worth of stock, first sale of $873 million plan
The sales are worth nearly $15 million at Tuesday's opening price.
The transactions are the first sale in Huang's plan to sell as many as 600,000 shares of Nvidia through the end of 2025. It's a plan that was announced in March, and it'd be worth $873 million at Tuesday's opening price.
The Nvidia founder still owns more than 800 million Nvidia shares, according to Monday's SEC filing. Huang has a net worth of about $126 billion, ranking him 12th on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
The 62-year-old chief executive sold about $700 million in Nvidia shares last year under a prearranged plan, too.
Nvidia stock is up more than 800% since December 2022 after OpenAI's ChatGPT was first released to the public. That launch drew attention to Nvidia's graphics processing units, or GPUs, which were needed to develop and power the artificial intelligence service.
The company's chips remain in high demand with the majority of the AI chip market, and Nvidia has introduced two subsequent generations of its AI GPU technology.
Nvidia continues to grow. Its stock is up 9% this year, even as the company faces export control issues that could limit foreign markets for its AI chips.
In May, the company reported first-quarter earnings that showed the chipmaker's revenue growing 69% on an annual basis to $44 billion during the quarter.

How Earth could look in 10,000 years, according to AI
Hiyah Zaidi Published June 30, 2025 3:23pm Link is copied Comments It seems that society is changing faster than ever, with technology helping us to connect to those around us. This process is known as globalisation, and also means that a lot of modern buildings look the same. But as global warming and climate change threatens the Earth, Metro wanted to get a clearer idea of what the Earth will look like in 10,000 years. So, naturally, we turned to AI and this is what it showed us (Picture: Shutterstock / Shutterstock AI) AI takes information from what is already out there on the internet – so it can't make up something new. However, this image looks slightly dystopian, as the AI Midjourney has spat out an image of Mexico being run-down, with large tech towers looming in the background that look slightly like they have been made out of scrap metal. We would hope that by the year 12,025 things would be more equal, but apparently, AI does not see it that way (Picture: Midjourney) AI seems to imagine that South Africa will begin to merge its landscape into nature, and greenery will be everywhere. Perhaps that is what has cleared up the skies, as climate change as we see it could lead to greyer skies. Although it doesn't say much to overpopulation, it is still nice to see humans are thriving, and are adapting to living with the Earth rather than destroying it (Picture: Midjourney) India is known for its toxic smog, and yet, not a trace of it has found its way into this image. Either there are aliens in the sky, or we have dramatically changed the face of air travel, and the luminous blue really screams 'futuristic'. AI did a nice touch adding traditional architecture with sky high roads and pointy high-rises – although the middle structure does seem to be drawing everyone in since they're all eerily walking in the same direction (Picture: ChatGPT) Now this is what we're talking about. It seems New Zealand has managed to do well for itself, and 10,000 years is enough time for a drastic makeover. Although we can't really say for sure what the massive hole in the right hand side building is for sure, we can guess it's for those air-travel things to do a loop-de-loop. If you can't afford your own personal air-craft, no need to worry as there is a handy high-speed rail that lets you see the greenery. Frodo should have waited to take the ring to Mordor, as this seems so much nicer (Picture: ChatGPT) Drivers beware, walkers don't care. Although any day crossing a road in present-day London will tell you that is already true. The main question here is why is the US so much more futuristic? And where are all those people going? Why are some people wearing more tech than others and what does it allow them to do? The year 12, 025 seems like a confusing time. The greenery is a nice touch, although it does seem that a lot of office space will be given to plants instead so maybe we will get those four day working weeks after all (Picture: Shutterstock / Shutterstock AI) The UK looks like it's straight out of Star Trek, and for some reason it's the only place that has a change in clothes. It's a huge wonder what green initiative will take place, and when, since this seems to be a recurring theme across the images. The UK has different aircrafts, which seem to match the top of some buildings. Again, pedestrians and drivers seem to share a road which does not seem like the safest option. At least the sky is clear though (Picture: Chatbox)

US SEC, SolarWinds reach preliminary deal to end breach lawsuit
NEW YORK, July 2 (Reuters) - The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has reached a deal in principle with SolarWinds Corp and its top security officer to end litigation tied to a Russia-linked cyberattack involving the software firm, they said in a court filing on Wednesday. The SEC, SolarWinds and its chief information security officer, Timothy Brown, asked a federal judge on Wednesday to stay court proceedings while they finalize paperwork for a settlement. The judge granted their motion, filings showed. In what was seen as a landmark case, the SEC sued the software company and its top security executive in connection with a two-year cyberattack known as Sunburst that targeted Austin, Texas-based SolarWinds. A judge dismissed much of the regulator's case last year. The SEC had said that the defendants defrauded investors by concealing security weaknesses, but U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer, who approved the stay, had said that the claims were based on "hindsight and speculation." An SEC spokesperson declined to comment on the matter beyond the public filings. SolarWinds did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The parties said they planned to file settlement paperwork or a joint status report by September 12.

Prices for the (literally) edgy Kia EV4 start from £34,695
Electric Tesla Model 3, Cupra Born and VW ID.3 rival is here, but no word on the fastback as yet Skip 1 photos in the image carousel and continue reading Prices are in for the distinctively angular Kia EV4 – the newest fully electric, four-door hatchback on the Korean carmaker's block – and the entry-level 'Air' trim will cost from £34,695, a smidge more than the basic Cupra Born. For that sub-£35k price tag, the Air gives you a single 201bhp (150kW) front-mounted electric motor capable of generating 209lb ft, a 58.3kWh battery and 273 miles of range. It also gives you a pair of 12.3in displays, and an integrated 5.3in climate touchscreen with real buttons for heating and cooling. Advertisement - Page continues below Kia's also integrated ChatGPT (because that's the trend now), Android Auto and Apple Carplay. There's another version of the EV4 Air that gets the same 201bhp motor and a bigger 81.4kWh battery, which bumps range right up to 388 miles and the starting price to £37,695 – akin to the range-topping Renault Megane E-tech. You might like Step up to the sportier 'GT-Line' trim, and for £39,395 you'll get - that's right - the same 201bhp motor, that bigger battery with 362 miles of juice, and choice goodies like bigger 19in wheels and the option of a 'Wolf Grey' paintjob, fur real. Otherwise white is the standard exterior finish on the Kia, so prepare to throw in another £650 for black, blue or red. The GT Line's styling and additional tech kit – including more comfy seats, ambient lighting and a wireless charger for your phone – carry through into the range-topping 'GT-Line S', which kicks off from £43,895. Same battery as the GT-Line. And e-motor. And range. And while that price will put you over the Expensive Car Supplement threshold, the extra four grand buys heated and cooled seats, a fancier sound system, HUD, park assist, electric tailgate and other driver assistance features. Advertisement - Page continues below On a home charger, charging will take over five hours for the smaller battery, or seven for the bigger one. The EV4 has 400V electrical architecture, able to support 350kW power delivery cutting the 10-80 per cent recharge to around half an hour. Elsewhere, there's no word on that fastback yet - sorry. For now, order books are only open for the hatchback, but stay tuned for more news on that one when we get it. Thank you for subscribing to our newsletter.
