Jensen Huang resigns as Nvidia CEO after affairs with suspected spy and colleague

Jensen Huang has resigned as CEO of Nvidia following revelations of two extramarital affairs, one allegedly involving a suspected Chinese spy, causing his public image and leadership to crumble within days. The first affair, with a businesswoman accused of being a Chinese intelligence asset, was reported on October 29, followed by news of a second relationship with an Nvidia colleague. His departure creates uncertainty in global stock markets, with Nvidia valued at nearly $4 trillion and central to the US-China AI race. Huang, 63, built a reputation as a family man and tech visionary, amassing a $145bn fortune. He founded Nvidia in 1993 and led its dominance in AI chips, serving major clients like Google and Microsoft.
