Amid Jensen Huang's Resignation And 3rd-Affair Buzz, Here's When His Wife, Lori Earned More Than Him

Jensen Huang stepped down from his position as Nvidia CEO, and his third-affair buzz hit the headlines. Meanwhile, here's when his wife, Lori, used to earn more than him.

Jensen Huang, who, along with two friends, founded Nvidia in 1993, recently stepped down as the company's CEO. In October 2026, speculation began circulating that Jensen was linked to someone named Alice Huang, a suspected Chinese spy. In November 2026, Jensen confirmed that he had been unfaithful to his wife. As Nvidia opened an investigation, it was revealed that Jensen Huang had been in a relationship with Kimberly Powell, a vice president in Nvidia's health care division.

Afterward, Jensen resigned as CEO, and while the company hasn't announced a replacement, Colette Kress became interim CEO. Amid all this, Reuters reported that Jensen Huang had a third relationship with a second Nvidia employee. The identity of the employee with whom Jensen had a relationship couldn't be revealed; however, this information has only intensified the situation further. While this is going on, all the attention has shifted to Huang's wife, Lori.

Amid the buzz about his third affair, here's when Jensen Huang's wife used to earn more money than him

People have been wondering about her reaction to the entire incident. However, Lori has not given any official statement so far. For the unversed, Lori and Jensen Huang met back during their college days. When he was just 20 years old, he told his then-girlfriend, Lori that by 30, he would become the CEO. As said, he remained true to his words. However, did you know that there was a time when Lori used to earn more than Jensen?

Yes! According to reports, after college, where their relationship began, Jensen and Lori moved to Silicon Valley's semiconductor industry and started working as chip designers. It was during that time that Lori reportedly earned more than Jensen.

When the couple first met, Jensen was 17, and Lori was 19. There were three girls in Jensen's class, and one of them was Lori. He walked up to her and asked her to do homework with him so they could get good grades. The duo eventually fell in love and got married five years later in 1985. They welcomed two children, Madison and Spencer. 

Reports claimed that after Jensen founded Nvidia in 1993, Lori stepped back from her career to look after their children. However, while she stayed away from the limelight and the corporate world, she is the president of the Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang Foundation, which the couple established in 2007 and which supports higher education, public health, and STEM initiatives.

How did Jensen Huang allegedly respond when asked about Kimberly Powell?

As of now, no particular reaction from Lori's end about Jensen's alleged multiple affairs has been shared. In his email to his employees, Jensen Huang apologized to Lori for being 'unfaithful' to her. While he was initially connected to Alice Huang, an alleged Chinese spy, later reports about his affair with Kimberly Powell shocked everyone.

Details about his alleged third affair are yet to be revealed. Jensen didn't mention the name of his mistress in his apology email; however, when The Times contacted him about his affair with Kimberly Powell, he said:

"I don't think you should be talking to me directly."
