Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleJensen Huang, who founded Nvidia back in 1993, along with his two friends, stepped down from his position after a series of affairs. Since October 2026, Huang has been linked to Alice Huang, a suspected Chinese spy. After the investigation by Nvidia, another affair rumor about the former CEO and his co-worker, Kimberly Powell, swirled. This information came just before Jensen Huang resigned.
Soon, another affair with a second Nvidia employee hit the headlines, leading people to wonder about his personal life with his wife, Lori. Lori and Jensen got married in 1985, and they have been together for more than 40 years. People have wondered whether Lori would opt for a divorce, and speculation has been rife that, if it happens, it could be expensive. WIRED reported that several of Nvidia employees wanted Jensen back as their boss; however, no update on the same has been shared.
What could allegedly happen with Jensen Huang's 800 million shares, which he owns with his wife?
Jensen, whose net worth was USD 155 billion, has been one of the richest men in the world; however, reports recently suggest that his name has been dropped from the list of the top 10 richest people. Right now, Bloomberg's Billionaires Index estimates his net worth at USD 138 billion.
According to Nvidia's proxy statement, Jensen has been listed as one of the largest shareholders of the company. He owned 870 million shares at the time; however, that number has since dropped to 811 million (according to an SEC filing), which Jensen owns in trusts with his wife, Lori. Jensen roughly owns 70 million shares personally, while the remaining majority is held in various trusts co-owned by Lori.
When Jensen announced his resignation, Nvidia didn't reveal what would happen to his shares. According to CNBC, if the split happens between Lori and Jensen in a living trust, it could be easily divided.
Even if the shares could be split up, the agreements with the company reportedly could prevent the shares from being sold or transferred. The outlet further reported that the irrevocable trusts, which are owned by the Huangs, are complex and will possibly need a court or the trust’s beneficiaries to consent to any change in terms.
More about Jensen Huang and his wife, Lori Huang
Jensen Huang and Lori Huang got married in 1985, five years after meeting in college. Lori was one of the three girls in Jensen's class, and he used to excuse himself from homework to sit beside her. Eventually, the couple fell in love. Lori and Jensen started working as chip designers years before he founded Nvidia, and during that time, she earned more than he did.
When Jensen was 20, he told his wife he would become CEO by 30. He did the same and built one of the largest firms in the world. It was in November 2026, when he sent an email to his employees, Jensen Huang apologized to his wife and others for being 'unfaithful'. In his apology email, he wrote:
“Throughout my life, my family has given me love and support. They deserve my honesty and loyalty. Instead, I let them down and damaged the life we built together. I take full responsibility for what I did and the hurt I caused, and I accept the criticism that comes with it.”
