  "account": "Jensen Huang admitted to having an affair, sparking speculation about a potential divorce from his wife, Lori. If the marriage were to end, Lori could receive up to half of Huang's estimated net worth of $155.2 billion, according to Forbes. This fortune would be comparable to Jeff Bezos' divorce settlement of $38.3 billion and Bill Gates' settlement of $25 billion. Under California law, jointly owned assets like Nvidia shares and income from the company could be divided equally. Huang, who has been married to Lori since the mid-1980s, is the largest shareholder of the company with over 3.5% stake. The firm's 2026 proxy statement indicates that most of Huang's shares are held in trusts, jointly owned by him and his wife. Should they divorce, Lori might receive $75 billion, depending on Nvidia stock performance. However, it's unlikely they had a prenup, given they met in college and Huang didn't have anything when they did. Any Nvidia shares Lori would receive would be subject to federal regulations and insider-trading laws. The couple's long-standing, seemingly fairytale romance dates back to their time at Oregon State University, where they were both studying electrical engineering. The couple has two children, both working at Nvidia. Despite the potential for a financial settlement, Huang has shown continued admiration for Lori, describing her as \"the best thing that ever happened to him.\"",
