Reuters: Ex-Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Had Relationship With Employee
The report is the third such allegation against Huang, who resigned as Nvidia CEO and board director on 12 November.
Reuters reported, citing multiple anonymous sources, that former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had a close personal relationship with one Nvidia employee. The agency did not identify the employee, and Nvidia declined to comment, according to Reuters.
The report is the third such allegation concerning Huang, who resigned from his roles as Nvidia CEO and board director on 12 November.
On 11 November, The New York Times reported that Huang had a relationship with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare. Huang did not confirm it and told the NYT it would be better not to speak to him directly. The newspaper noted that Nvidia's code of conduct requires avoiding conflicts of interest arising from personal relationships.
On 8 November, Huang admitted to his wife, Lori Huang, that he had been unfaithful. The couple married in the mid-1980s, and Forbes said California's community property law would split their assets in a divorce; the couple is believed to jointly hold 3.5% of Nvidia.
Forbes estimated Huang's net worth at $143 billion and said he fell to 13th place on its list of the world's richest people. After the resignation news, his net worth briefly fell 10% at market open before slightly rebounding, according to Forbes.
