Methodology

How we get from a news story to the numbers on this site. Last checked Nov 12, 2026.

What we count

For the Huang split, we use the roughly 671 million Nvidia shares that SFist, citing Forbes, attributes to Jensen Huang: shares held directly, in a revocable trust held jointly with his wife and through six LLCs owned by that trust. Half is about 335 million shares.

The price

We multiply 335 million shares by Nvidia's latest share price, pulled from Yahoo Finance and cached for about a minute. Quotes can be delayed. SFist's own $62.6 billion figure uses the November 7 close, about $186.87, so our number will differ as the stock moves. If the price feed is down, the site shows the last close we recorded and labels it.

Why 50/50

California, where the Huangs live, is a community-property state. Property a couple earns during the marriage is generally split equally, unless a prenup or postnup says otherwise. Whether they have one hasn't been reported.

What we leave out

About 140 million more shares, worth over $26 billion, sit in two irrevocable trusts and aren't counted. Neither is anything else Huang owns. Forbes puts his total fortune at about $155 billion, so half of everything could be larger than our figure.

Nothing here predicts a divorce

No divorce has been filed and neither spouse has announced one. Every Huang figure on this site is hypothetical. We check court and news reports and update the "not filed" stamp with the date we last checked.

The leaderboard

Past settlements come from Wikipedia, “List of most expensive divorces”, as reported at the time and not adjusted for inflation. Many are press estimates. Where the source gives a range, we sort by the low end.

The $1-bill math

A $1 bill is about 0.0043 inches thick, 6.14 inches long and weighs about a gram, according to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The International Space Station orbits about 250 miles up, and the Moon averages 238,855 miles away. "Per day married" assumes about 41 years, since the wedding date isn't public.
