Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's affair with a purported Chinese spy has put his personal life under scrutiny, triggering an investigation by the board. Founded in a fast food franchise, Nvidia is a tech giant valued at over $4 trillion, making it one of the world's most valuable companies. The company's origins are humble; it began in 1993 when three engineers - Huang, Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem - met at a Denny's diner in San Jose, California, and discussed creating a more powerful graphics chip for video games.
This meeting, and subsequent discussions, led to the formation of Nvidia. Huang, who lists only two years of work experience on his LinkedIn profile, has roots in the restaurant where he worked as a young man, which likely influenced his early life.
