Name a single F500 CEO who was in this situation while running a $5 trillion company

Aye. It'll be 25% off the market cap tomorrow, as the location of the CEO's penis is the most important thing in business performance.

It is important when it's inside a nation state spy (allegedly)

Jeff Bezos?

No longer CEO of Amazon

He resigned many years after the affair became public

He did have to give up a large chunk of equity in that divorce

Did he or was it already MacKenzie Scott‘s as she was Amazon’s co-founder?

Mackenzie Scott was a bookkeeper in Amazon's early days while married to Jeff Bezos but I don't think she is universally recognized as a cofounder of Amazon. This has come up before on this site and I personally don't care one way or another. Her stake is from the divorce, not from options granted as part of employment or investment...

Elon Musk

This one is good, I'll grant this an honorable mention. My instinct here is to say that serial unmarried "bachelors" / IVF enthusiasts don't count in the same way as a Jensen or a bank CEO type.

He survived the whole SEC thing, I think tesla board realized that the stock was already in trouble and him leaving would make a bad situation worse. This was in 2019, before Tesla's huge post-Covid turnround.

I am generally curious: Why is that? Is it because they expose a weakness that allows their enemies to cut them from power, because it is a moral flaw, because they breach employment contract, ...?

Is Bill Gates in this club? What about dear leader before he was president and just a CEO?

Sergey Brin in 2013? Not technically a CEO, but comparable.

Steve Jobs had a daughter he tried to pretend wasn't his,

Every single google exec has had extreme sex issues.

Andy Rubin was forced out for forcing blowjobs from many people at Google.

Eric Schmidt has always fucked/funded twenty year olds including Dario's own wife!!

Eric Schmidt didn't cheat on his wife; they have an open marriage.

> "Schmidt is married to Wendy Schmidt, whom he met in Berkley University [sic] in the late 1970s. The couple apparently has an open marriage, and Daily Mail described Schmidt’s private life “as colourful and complex as the ever-changing ‘Google doodle’ which pops up each time the search engine is launched.”"

It’s his company and he admitted it? It’s a human failing and it’s his issue to deal with. Nobody else has grown Nvidia from where it started to where it is. Jensen isn’t a politician and you’re missing who would replace him at the helm of his own company?

Would it be grounds for Zuckerberg to step down if he had an affair? Of course not.

Mark Hurd was fired by HP then hired by Larry Ellison to work at Oracle.
