JENSEN HUANG WAS ASKED ABOUT A WEALTH TAX THAT COULD COST HIM $8 BILLION
The interviewer expected him to be worried. He wasn't.
His response surprised the room:
"I prefer lower taxes. However, I also don't mind paying taxes. I love this country. We don't exercise that many tax loopholes. Once a year we get a bill, we pay it, and it's big. I never once thought about it. We love this country. That's our way of giving back."
He went on to say he and his wife chose California for the schools and the culture, not for tax arbitrage.
"I would love that they would apply $10,000 of the taxes that I paid to fix that one pothole on the 101. If they let me, I'll do it myself."
