John Sutter : In 2010 , he quit his job and got a surprise pension check from the company for $ 4,000 .

He decided to put it all in Nvidia stock; it was literally the first stock he ever bought.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said he had a “bet-the-company moment” in 2018 , revamping the graphics processing units that helped fuel its artificial-intelligence ambitions.

You put your life savings in Nvidia , a risky move, but it paid off.

Riding the stock’s volatility, and resisting cashing out as the price slowly climbed before exploding took chutzpah.
