Jensen Huang's final days at Nvidia
Jensen Huang reportedly lost confidence and used phrases like "whatever" and "I don't care" during his final hours as Nvidia's CEO, following revelations of romantic affairs that cost him his job at the chipmaker he built into a $4 trillion company. Bloomberg, citing anonymous sources, reported Huang repeatedly called himself a "bastard" and admitted his relationship with Alice Huang, a Megaspeed executive suspected of Chinese espionage ties, after Nvidia's chief legal officer confronted him. The board hesitated initially, but a New York Times report revealed a second affair with vice president Kimberly Powell, prompting a late-night crisis meeting where directors decided he had to leave. Reuters later reported a third affair with another employee. Huang, married to Lori for over 40 years, said his main concern now is his family, as two children and a son-in-law work at Nvidia. His fortune exceeded $200 billion in October before the scandal, which sent the stock plummeting.
