Buying $3,000 worth of Nvidia stock in 2014 could have made you $1 million+ today in 2025. NVDA was trading at $0.50 (before split) in September 2015 before it kick-started a rally.

Investors who brought $3,000 worth of Nvidia stock got to accumulate 6,000 shares 11 years ago. Fast-forward to October 2025, and NVDA is hovering around the $182 range on Friday.

That’s a heaven and Earth difference in the last 11 years, and Nvidia stock has spiked nearly 36,000% since then. Therefore, holding on to the 6,000 NVDA shares up until today could have been worth more than $1 million now.

Nvidia Stock Made Investors’ Portfolio Swell Since 2020

Nvidia stock experienced a mind-blowing rally since 2020 and became the darling of the US markets. Both retail and institutional funds poured in billions and made the most out of the bull run. The influx of investments was even compared to the gold rush of 1848, which attracted 300,000 people to California.

Only this time, the number of people (investors) was more, and they were from all over the world. Stories of average investors making up to $1 million from Nvidia stock were all over the news. This pumped up many more traders, leading to a bigger influx of funds. Even now, NVDA is receiving huge investments not only from the US, but from investors around the world.

However, NVDA has cooled down in 2025 for a month and has surged by only 3%. It is up close to 32% year-to-date and is among the most sought-after assets in the US markets. The major gains came only from 2020, and the ones who took an entry position then are now sitting on sacks of profits. If they press the sell button now, they could hold a fistful of dollars next.
