Reuters says Nvidia’s former CEO may have had a third affair

Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s former president and CEO, may have had a third extramarital relationship with an employee, according to two sources interviewed by Reuters. The agency did not identify the employee, and Nvidia, Huang and a board representative did not comment. The two earlier cases reportedly involved Alice Huang and Kimberly Powell, an Nvidia vice president; The New York Times had reported on the episodes before Huang’s resignation.

Nvidia’s board announced that Huang immediately left his positions as president, chief executive and board member. The company opened an independent investigation into whether he may have been targeted by a foreign intelligence operation after the case involving Alice Huang was published; according to The New York Times, she may have been recruited by China to obtain information about the executive and the company. According to Forbes, Huang’s fortune fell by US$32.9 billion since November 1, taking him off the list of the world’s 10 richest people.
