Main Points
You play Fortnite, Minecraft, Call of Duty or Cyberpunk 2077? Love those realistic graphics, smooth movements and stunning visual effects? Thank Nvidia’s GeForce RTX technology for helping make those gaming experiences possible. And what about ChatGPT, the AI assistant helping you write emails, solve problems, research, create content and make everyday life easier? Or Microsoft Copilot, helping people work smarter? Well, Nvidia’s powerful H100, H200 and Blackwell AI chips are among the technologies driving this artificial intelligence revolution. The man behind this empire? Jensen Huang, 63, the leather-jacket-wearing CEO who co-founded Nvidia in 1993 and helped build it into a company worth approximately US$4.5 trillion, accumulating a personal fortune exceeding US$150 billion. Now imagine building technology that makes life so easy, only to discover that following temptation could cost you billions! Huang has admitted being unfaithful to Lori Huang, his wife of 41 years. The woman reportedly involved, Alice Huang, a former executive at Megaspeed, is suspected by US intelligence of spying for China. Her company purchased approximately US$4.8 billion in Nvidia equipment. China denies the espionage allegations, and Nvidia says there is currently no evidence its secrets were compromised. On November 9, Nvidia shares plunged 4.3%, wiping approximately US$190 billion from the company’s market value. A shareholder lawsuit and independent investigation followed. And we’ve seen expensive personal controversies involving powerful executives before. Jeff Bezos divorced MacKenzie Scott in 2019. She received a 4% Amazon stake. Intel CEO Brian Krzanich resigned in 2018 over a relationship that violated company policy. BP CEO Bernard Looney resigned in 2023 over undisclosed relationships. McDonald’s CEO Steve Easterbrook lost his job in 2019 and later returned approximately US$105 million in compensation. Now people are wondering whether Lori Huang could become the next MacKenzie Scott. No divorce has been announced, so any multibillion-dollar settlement remains speculation. The irony? He helped create chips that power artificial intelligence, but apparently couldn’t apply enough ordinary intelligence to protect his marriage and reputation. Sometimes the biggest threat to a multitrillion-dollar empire isn’t the competition. It’s the judgment of the man running it. And that black leather jacket might become the most expensive fashion statement in corporate history.
