Summary
Lori Huang was thrust into public view after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told employees he had an affair with an executive the U.S. government identified as a Chinese spy.
Jensen Huang’s message apologized to his wife and to their two children, both of whom work at Nvidia, widening the fallout from the disclosure beyond the chief executive himself.
For more than 40 years, Lori Huang had largely stayed out of public attention while her husband built Nvidia into one of the world’s most valuable companies and amassed a fortune nearing $150 billion.
Nvidia’s central role in supplying A.I. chips gives the scandal broader weight, raising national-security and economic concerns around a company that has become a linchpin for the stock market.
