There is zero percent chance the board does anything to Jensen.

His likely ex-wife is about to be very rich tho.

We don’t know the extent of what happened. My first thought, given MegaSpeed, is chip diversion.

How much of NVIDIA’s sales and revenues is actually to China? Would that be allowed to happen still?

I'll take the other side of the wife -> ex-wife bet. He was photographed publicly with the "spy" and has been signing boobs.

If the camel had a back, then it was already broken, IMHO.

He wasn’t photographed in a romantic context as far as I know, and he just signed the upper part of a woman’s chest with tons of cameras around, clearly a marketing ploy rather than him trying to enter into a relationship with her.

What? [0]

You just touch someone's lower back, through an arm around their neck, and share seats for one at lounges?

Cruel? You have no idea what that word means.

Giving a source to someone who hasn't done any checking is not inhumane.

"shallow dismissals" are against HN guidelines [0]. Worse, the article dates the paparazzi photos pre-2026.

I could not access the article (or I did not want to pay), hence the question.

Given the celebrity status of Jensen, it seemed unlikely that scandalous photos of him would be publicly distributed and it not already have been a huge story.

It is possible the scandalous pictures (not just him walking in front of her or sitting next to her) were already floating around, and I am not up-to-date on celebrity scandals, and the wife was already planning a divorce, as you claim.

I figured you were acting in bad faith because the article addressed your question and you didn't mention you skipped the article.

Not mentioning is categorical bad faith-- another HN guidelines faux pas.

There’s cheating on your wife.

And there’s cheating on your wife and having the feds write up intelligence reports about it, the Financial Times running an article about it and having to send a public admission to every single employee at your company including your two kids who you employ there.

Re:Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's letter to staff about affair by caminante on Sunday November 08, 2026 @08:48PM (#50419963)
Ask yourself how would his wife not know this was happening? They were seen in public in intimate settings.

Don't kid yourself about the reason he wrote the letter. He's only writing this because of national security optics and covers it in a shit sandwich format.

This video of Lex Friedman and Jensen hanging out and drinking in Taiwan came out 3 weeks ago. Jensen and his wife seem pretty happy together in it. So today’s news is genuinely new news or they’d already gone over it and sorted it out. Jensen seems to do a lot of booze fuelled entertaining…

Why?

They'd been photod publicly since 2024.

I get that transactional relationships are pretty common in the elite world but they almost always still maintain a projection and image of a stable normal marriage to the outside. In fact in many cases the value of that projected image is the only thing really keeping the relationship stable.

It can be argued that the reason rich people are rich is they lack satiation, therefore they can never be rich-enough.
Re:Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's letter to staff about affair by ergocoder on Sunday November 08, 2026 @11:20PM (#50421038)
They are both rich, lmao. The wealth is marital.

But I agree with you that both of them or one of them will be very rich because they will get to sell at the top without upsetting the market.

OH NO WE HAVE TO SELL BECAUSE OF THE DIVORCE NOW. BEFORE THE DEMOCRATS NUKE AI COMPANIES. OH NO. [insert croc tears here]

You can google Luo Pai (from Enron) to learn more.

I honestly feel truly sorry for her. No amount of wealth can replace what she’s lost.
