Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleJensen Huang has been in the headlines after confessing to having an affair, all while being married to his wife, Lori Huang. Jensen was initially linked to Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based tech company Megaspeed. Reports claimed that she is allegedly a spy working for Chinese intelligence.
Things did not stop here; Jensen Huang also allegedly cheated on Lori with two Nvidia employees. With the affair controversy showing no signs of stopping anytime soon, Jensen stepped down from his position as Nvidia CEO on November 12, 2026. Now, his biographer revealed that Jensen’s family man persona was all an act.
Jensen Huang’s biographer calls out former Nvidia CEO for being arrogant
Jensen Huang’s biographer, Stephan Witt, who wrote The Thinking Machine on the former Nvidia CEO, is revealing some unknown details about him. He claimed that Jensen was ‘quite arrogant.’ According to Stephan, Jensen went to ‘considerable lengths’ to hide his arrogance. He recalled meeting the former Nvidia CEO back in 2023. At the time, Jensen and his handlers had been pushing the idea that he was humble.
Because of this, Jensen Huang would always try to deflect attention away from his successes. He would give credit to his employees in addition to the executive staff members. Jensen also preferred to glad-hand service people.
For the unversed, Jensen Huang began his career as a dishwasher at Denny’s. Stephan noted that this was something that the former Nvidia CEO would “never let you forget.” Jensen dreamed up Nvidia while he was still working at Denny's. Stephan also revealed that Jensen liked visiting small, hole-in-the-wall restaurants.
After dining there, he would always leave massive tips. Stephan recounted that when he once met Jensen for breakfast at Denny's, the then-CEO tipped the waitress USD 1,000 in hundred-dollar bills. Stephan noted, “He didn't make a show of it, either. I had to track her down to ask.” But as time went by, Stephan began wondering if Jensen Huang's show of humility was an act.
He soon realized that in reality, Jensen was quite arrogant. Jensen's biographer claimed that he had little tolerance for disagreement. He was also not a big fan of open discourse. If anyone ever tried to contradict Jensen, even if it was a trivial matter, Stephan described it as ‘lighting a fuse.’
Stephan alleged that if anyone was bold enough to stick to what they were saying after contradicting Jensen, the former Nvidia CEO would scream at them for their alleged idiocy. He explained:
“A harangue from Mr. Huang could last an hour or more; his executive staff appeared genuinely afraid of him.”
Jensen Huang’s biographer claims his family man persona was all an act
Apart from revealing that Jensen was an arrogant man despite his show of humility, Stephan Witt made another shocking revelation. He claimed that Jensen always tried to show himself as a family man, but it was actually all an act. Stephan believes that Jensen went through a great deal of self-deception to sell his family man act to others. In his words:
“Here, the act was harder to detect and must have involved a great deal of self-deception. He spoke of his wife, Lori, and his kids, Madison and Spencer, all the time.”
Stephan Witt shared that Jensen would often travel around the world with his family. He would also encourage his children to join him at Nvidia rather than pursue careers in unrelated fields. The biographer also addressed Jensen’s affair with Nvidia executive Kimberly Powell. Stephan claimed that the affair was common knowledge in the company where his children worked. He added:
“It’s a stunning and disrespectful display of arrogance.”
