Photographer: Graeme Sloan\/Bloomberg via Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993, immediately stepping into the role of CEO, a position he has now held for 32 years. The company started as a graphics card manufacturer, but has recently pivoted to creating AI chips that power the efforts of other tech giants, like Microsoft, OpenAI and Meta. In October, Nvidia briefly became the first company in history to achieve a $5 trillion market capitalization.<\/p>\n<p>Huang doesn\u2019t take Nvidia\u2019s success as an indicator that it is time to rest on his laurels \u2014 quite the opposite. The 62-year-old CEO said on the podcast that he works seven days a week, \u201cevery moment\u201d he is awake, including holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. He wakes up early in the morning, at 4 a.m., to read emails for a few hours and says he reads several thousand emails a day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s exhausting,\u201d Huang said on the podcast. \u201cAlways in a state of anxiety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Huang mentioned that his two children, Spencer and Madison, both work for Nvidia and also work seven days a week. He did not say whether he expects his employees to have this kind of work ethic.<\/p>\n<p><b>Related: <\/b><b>Nvidia\u2019s CEO Says He\u2019s \u2018Created More Billionaires\u2019 Than Anyone Else<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Not all CEOs subscribe to an always-on work mindset.

Linear asks its 100 employees to work the standard 40 hours, and offers generous perks, including permanently remote work, five weeks of paid time off per year and four months of paid parental leave.
