Reports allege former Nvidia chief Jensen Huang had three affairs

Reports allege that former Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang had relationships with three women outside his marriage, including two who worked with him at the chipmaker. The claims have drawn attention to Nvidia’s workplace rules and leadership, as well as to a separate national security investigation involving one of the women.

Reuters reported a relationship with an unnamed Nvidia worker, following a New York Times report about an alleged affair with healthcare vice-president Kimberly Powell. US officials reportedly suspect Alice Huang, who is not related to Jensen Huang, of passing restricted Nvidia chips to China; the claims have not been independently established in the article. Huang, 63, apologised to his wife and family for being unfaithful, and Nvidia’s shares fell more than 5 per cent on Thursday to $164.25, with a reported decline of about 14 per cent over the week.
