Jensen Huang, a Bay Area CEO worth more than $35 billion, said he wouldn't again go through 'pain and suffering' of being a startup founder at Nvidia.

“At that time, if we realized the pain and suffering and just how vulnerable you’re gonna feel and the challenges that you’re gonna endure — the embarrassment and the shame, and you know, the list of all the things that go wrong — I don’t think anybody would start a company,” Huang said.
