How Nvidia Makes Money ? ( Not By Selling Chips )

#Nvidia #AI #BusinessBreakdown Nvidia is the most valuable company on Earth, it sold $96 billion of chips in a single quarter, and it has never manufactured one. In this video I break down how a company that started in a Denny's and nearly went bankrupt selling graphics cards became the toll booth for the entire AI industry — and what that did for anyone who bought the stock. We cover: – Why 90% of Nvidia's revenue now comes from data centres, not gaming – How Nvidia designs chips in California, has TSMC build them in Taiwan, and keeps 75 cents of every dollar – 1993: three engineers, a Denny's, and $40,000 – 1997: thirty days from bankruptcy and the chip that saved the company – CUDA, the 2006 software bet investors hated that became the real moat – 2012: the Toronto experiment that handed the AI industry to Nvidia – The queue, the $40,000 chips, and why Microsoft, Google and Amazon are trying to escape – What $1,000 at the 1999 IPO, in 2016, and in 2023 is worth today – Why nobody knows if this is the best business ever built or a shovel seller in a gold rush Subscribe for a new business breakdown every week. how nvidia makes money, nvidia business model, nvidia stock, nvidia investors, jensen huang, nvidia history, cuda, nvidia tsmc, ai chips, nvidia data center, gpu, business breakdown, company case study, nvidia bubble Sources: NVIDIA Form 10-K (fiscal 2026) and Q1/Q2 fiscal 2027 earnings releases (SEC), NVIDIA 1999 IPO prospectus, Jensen Huang's Stanford GSB and Acquired podcast interviews, Krizhevsky, Sutskever & Hinton, "ImageNet Classification with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks" (2012), Tae Kim, The Nvidia Way (2024). #NvidiaStock #HowCompaniesMakeMoney #JensenHuang #Semiconductors #Investing #TechBusiness #casestudy
