REPORT: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Had Three Affairs - Two With Employees

What the reporting says

Multiple outlets say Huang has allegedly been involved in at least three affairs. A separate report points to a second relationship connected to Nvidia, but leaves key points open, including who was involved, what the professional tie was, when it started, and whether it continues. In covering an alleged affair with Powell, the Times pointed to Nvidia's code of conduct, which instructs employees to "avoid situations where our actions create conflict" and cites "personal relationships" as an example.

Legal and financial stakes

The new allegations are expected to intensify questions about whether Huang could seek a divorce from his wife, Lori, whom he has been married to since the mid 1980s. She has not commented publicly. Because California is a community-property state, shared assets are generally divided 50 50 in a divorce; disclosures indicate that Lori and Jensen Huang together own the ex CEO's 3.5% stake in Nvidia. It is still unknown whether any pre or postnuptial agreements exist that would separate assets.
