A Jensen Huang double-signed workstation Blackwell GPU sold for over $57,000

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang signed one of the chipmaker's desktop GPU units as a prize in March. It just fetched over $57,000 at auction.

A Jensen Huang double-signed workstation GPU, the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition, sold at auction for a record $57,450, exceeding its initial estimates by nearly 10 times. The auction, themed around Steve Jobs and the computing revolution, featured various items from the Apple co-founder's life. This GPU, built for intensive tasks like AI development, is one of the most powerful desktop GPUs ever created, typically ranging from $12,000 to $16,000.

It had been a raffle prize at the GTC 2026 Physical AI Meetup, an event held alongside Nvidia's annual conference in March. While the GPU fetched a high price, it is still far below the most expensive Huang item ever sold at public auction - a pre-worn, signed Tom Ford jacket by him, which sold for $960,000 in July.
