Nvidia’s CEO was the rock star of AI before his dramatic unravelling
Jensen Huang’s reported departure from Nvidia followed allegations that he had two affairs, one with a woman alleged to be a Chinese spy and another with a colleague. The allegations unsettled investors and cast doubt over the leadership of a company central to the global AI industry and the US-China technology race.

Huang, 63, co-founded the firm in 1993 after studying electrical engineering and working at AMD; he is married to Lori Mills, with whom he has two children, and has an estimated fortune of $145 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
