How a Gaming Company Became Worth $5 Trillion (The Nvidia Story)

In 1993, three engineers sketched out a graphics-card company in a Denny's booth. Thirty years later it's worth more than five trillion dollars — bigger than Germany, bigger than Japan, bigger than every carmaker on Earth combined.

This is the full story of how Nvidia accidentally became the most valuable company in history: a near-bankruptcy, a software bet Wall Street begged them to kill, the 2012 moment that lit the AI revolution, the 2018 crash everyone thought was the end — and the ChatGPT explosion that turned Nvidia into the company selling shovels in the biggest gold rush of all time.
