Jensen Huang resigns as Nvidia CEO after affairs, including one with alleged Chinese spy
Jensen Huang resigned as CEO of Nvidia on Thursday following revelations of two extramarital affairs, including one with a businesswoman accused of being a Chinese spy. His dramatic exit has shaken global markets and the AI industry. The first affair, with an entrepreneur linked to espionage allegations, drew international attention and puzzled investors. A second relationship with an Nvidia colleague was reported Wednesday. Huang's departure creates uncertainty in stock markets already volatile, as Nvidia is central to US-China tech competition. Huang, once celebrated as a "genius" at the White House and nicknamed the "Taylor Swift of technology," built a $4 trillion company dominating AI chips. His clients include Google, Meta, and Tesla. He was known for presenting himself as a family man, married to Lori Mills since 1985.
