Nvidia CEO's Wife Could Receive $60 Billion in Divorce Settlement

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's wife, Lori Huang, could receive approximately 335 million shares worth $60 billion in a divorce under California law, following his admitted affair. The potential settlement stems from the state's community property rules. California law mandates a 50:50 split of all assets acquired during marriage, regardless of infidelity. Legal experts consider a prenuptial agreement unlikely since the couple married as students. Huang directly controls about 70 million shares, with family trusts and LLCs holding 600 million more. An additional 140 million shares sit in irrevocable trusts, with access depending on their terms. Huang apologized publicly after photos with Alice Huang surfaced in May 2025. Legal experts expect any settlement to proceed discreetly to avoid impacting Nvidia's stock value.
