Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigns after doctored jacket photo and affair revelations
Jensen Huang resigned Thursday as CEO of Nvidia amid a viral AI-doctored photo of him in a studded Saint Laurent jacket, coinciding with revelations about his personal life and the company's falling stock. The fabricated image, confirmed by Nvidia, showed Huang in an uncharacteristically flamboyant jacket, sparking online commentary about midlife-crisis energy as his reputation crumbled. His real leather jackets, a signature style credited to his wife and daughter, had long symbolized his maverick image. Huang's affair with a Chinese businessperson and a second extramarital relationship with an Nvidia executive emerged this week, shifting perceptions of his leather-clad persona from rebellious to reckless. A similar Tom Ford jacket sold at Sotheby's for nearly $1 million this year.
