Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s Affair With Alleged Spy Sparks Board Probe

slate.com —

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an affair with a woman U.S. officials allege is a Chinese spy, prompting a board investigation and a $6.5 billion loss in his net worth as company stock slumped. Huang, long known as a "Wife Guy" for his family-man image, acknowledged the national security concerns in a public statement, vowing full cooperation. The scandal follows months of rumors and photos with 43-year-old tech executive Alice Huang, with President Donald Trump reportedly briefed a year ago. Nvidia controls 95% of the GPU market, powering everything from Tesla vehicles to ChatGPT, making the company critical to the global economy. The affair has also sparked racist online jokes targeting Asian spouses of tech leaders, though the core issue remains the company's immense economic influence.
