Jensen Huang, the former CEO of Nvidia, has been grabbing attention for all the wrong reasons. He founded the company in 1993 with two friends, and since then, neither the firm nor Jensen has looked back. However, his career with Nvidia came to an end when, on November 12, 2026, he resigned from his position as CEO. Jensen's resignation came after a series of affair revelations, first with Alice Huang, a suspected Chinese spy, and then with Kimberly Powell, a VP of Nvidia.
