NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced an AI financing "grand concept" on August 10, planning to collaborate with Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, KKR, Apollo, and Brookfield, among others, to raise $500 billion (potentially more) from external investors to build new AI data centers. Waldemar Szlezak, KKR's head of digital infrastructure, described this move as a "revenue stream." Analysts believe that although the plan has not yet actually raised funds and is currently only a memorandum of understanding, institutions like KKR are investing capital and reputation to support this financing structure.
