Jensen Huang’s spy mistress had a secret HUSBAND: Nvidia plot thickens as details emerge on lover’s past with financier who fell foul of Chinese authorities

Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang has acknowledged an affair with Chinese entrepreneur Alice Huang, who is under investigation over alleged information-sharing with Beijing. New reports say she previously had a relationship with financier Kang Wei, adding detail to the business connections and personal relationships surrounding the case.

Kang founded private equity firm Hexi Capital, where Alice Huang later worked, and was reportedly introduced as her husband at business meetings. The pair built a network of companies and helped secure a project to develop an AI computing centre for Tencent in Shanghai in 2020. Kang and his firm were fined over disclosure violations and illegal trading linked to a takeover; reports also describe Alice Huang invoking her connection to Jensen Huang when discussing business.
