Jensen Huang controversy puts spotlight on scandalous celebrity divorces with eye-watering settlements

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang witnessed a staggering $7.4 billion loss in his net worth within a mere 30 minutes on Monday, causing his rank to drop from 8th to 10th on Forbes' list of the world's richest people. This precipitous decline was precipitated by a sharp drop in Nvidia's share price following Huang's admission to having an affair.

The company's shares opened more than 7 percent lower, resulting in a $10.3 billion wipeout of his fortune. Currently, Huang's net worth stands at $154.7 billion, below that of Berkshire Hathaway chairman Warren Buffett and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison.
