Jensen Huang’s Exit From Nvidia Puts $9 Billion Foundation in Jeopardy

Jensen Huang has resigned as chief executive of Nvidia following revelations of affairs, including one with a Chinese spy, threatening the future of the couple's $9 billion charitable foundation. The foundation's fate is now uncertain amid the marital crisis. The Jen-hsun & Lori Huang Foundation, co-led by Huang and his wife Lori, nearly tripled its assets in 2024 due to over $5 billion in investment gains. The couple had only recently begun major giving, with their largest public donations totaling about $180 million to four universities. The low-profile foundation, which lacks a website, has also donated $108.3 million in computing time from Nvidia partner Coreweave to nonprofits. Huang previously described his philanthropy as an investment in future technology, not charity.
