Huang Renxun’s resignation has just sparked controversy, now compounded by allegations of a third extramarital affair. Trump and Musk have both expressed concern.
The trending topic surrounding Huang Renxun’s resignation had barely faded when news of his alleged third extramarital relationship resurfaced.
According to foreign media reports, Huang Renxun is said to have another undisclosed affair with a current employee at NVIDIA, though the individual’s identity remains unconfirmed. Previously, the second alleged affair involved Kimberly Powell, an NVIDIA executive.
Huang Renxun has only publicly acknowledged the first extramarital relationship; he has not formally addressed the two subsequent allegations. However, the lack of acknowledgment appears increasingly irrelevant—his reputation has already suffered significant damage, and his tenure as CEO is effectively over. Additional scandals may no longer carry substantial consequence.
As a result, public attention has shifted toward a key question: will Huang Renxun’s wife, Lory, file for divorce? Few women are likely to tolerate repeated infidelity, particularly when multiple partners are involved.
Based on current estimates, Huang Renxun’s net worth stands at approximately $155.2 billion, equivalent to over 1 trillion RMB. Under California law, in the absence of a prenuptial agreement, marital assets are generally divided equally upon divorce. This would mean Lory could receive at least 500 billion RMB in assets.
Since the scandal broke, Huang Renxun’s wife and family have not issued any public statements. Meanwhile, Donald Trump and Elon Musk have repeatedly spoken in his defense.
In their most recent responses, both expressed regret over Huang Renxun’s resignation. Musk emphasized that while a CEO can be replaced, Huang also holds the irreplaceable status of founder. Trump similarly stated that only one individual in the United States could potentially fill Huang’s role: Tim Cook, former CEO of Apple.
History provides precedents for technology company founders stepping down and triggering institutional instability—most notably Steve Jobs’ departure from Apple. Following Huang Renxun’s resignation, NVIDIA’s stock price declined sharply, closing down 4.34% and resulting in a market value loss of 1.21 trillion RMB. Musk’s concerns appear well-founded.
