Nvidia’s investigation into CEO Huang’s affair puts a spotlight on chip billionaire’s personal life
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has been one of the poster boys for the AI revolution because his company's chips are essential for the technology. Now his personal life is in the spotlight after revelations of an affair with a purported Chinese spy that triggered an investigation by the board.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is embroiled in an affair scandal that has led to an investigation by the board, drawing attention to the tech billionaire's personal life. Founded in a fast food restaurant, Nvidia is now worth over $4 trillion, making it one of the world's most valuable companies. The company was born in 1993 when Huang, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem met at a Denny's diner in Silicon Valley to discuss developing a faster graphics chip for video games.
Huang, born in Taiwan, moved to the U.S. with his family at age 9 and later attended Oregon State University, where he met his future wife. Known for wearing a black leather jacket, Huang's signature style is reminiscent of Apple's Steve Jobs. Analysts fear that if Huang is removed due to the investigation, Nvidia would be a "much different company."
