On Nov 10 that, citing China Business Journal and Jinwei, following NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's Nov 8 admission in a statement to employees of being "unfaithful to his wife," speculation emerged that he might divorce his wife, Lori Huang. Lori has yet to make a public statement.

NVIDIA's fiscal 2026 annual report indicates that the vast majority of shares under Jensen Huang's name are held in a trust, with both spouses serving as co-trustees. The latest financial filing shows Huang holds approximately 871 million shares of NVIDIA, accounting for 3.58% of the total, with roughly 801 million shares explicitly disclosed as jointly held by the couple, currently valued at over $143 billion.

California, where the Huangs reside, operates under a community property system and is a no-fault state, meaning evidence of infidelity does not impact asset division. Christopher Melcher, a high-net-worth divorce attorney based in Los Angeles, noted that Lori is entitled to a 50% share. Based on NVIDIA's current stock price, Lori could receive at least $75 billion, with the exact percentage dependent on whether the couple executed a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement.

Affected by the scandal, NVIDIA's stock price fell sharply. Data from Forbes shows that as of the market close on November 9 Eastern Time, Huang's net worth stood at approximately $155.2 billion, briefly causing him to drop out of the global top ten ranking.
