alt Hacker NewsJensen Huang said to have had relationship with executive who reports to him
Comments
If his personal security detained the person videoing them and offered them money to sign an NDA, it feels like something they had experience with. Could this just be the tip of the iceberg?
> Both Mr. Huang and Ms. Powell are married to other people
Dumb language question: if Powell is married, why isn’t she referred to as Mrs. Powell in this article?
[黃 (huáng) literally means yellow, but in slang and compound words, it can mean vulgar or lewd]....
Here's an example:
開黃腔 (kāi huáng qiāng) – to make a lewd or sexually suggestive remark.
All those years me learning Chinese haven't gone to waste--yet. :)
He has to be finished as CEO even despite all the keyman risk right?
Huang Holds 3.4% of Nvidia and has no dual-class voting rights. He can't prevent getting removed if the board thinks it's time.
the timing of this coming out now is certainly not a coincidence; same with the spy affair (which was known a year or two ago). the interesting question is who wants Jensen gone
If, at the end of the day, it is moral merit that matters for leadership positions, why is the hiring and training paradigm solely focused on technical skills?
Not surprising at all. Many tech CEOs are like this; Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Sergey Brin, Eric Schmidt and so on. People don’t stop idolizing these people, they don’t even think that this is a problem.
Isn't Jensen on record as saying he won't do 1 on 1 meetings with employees? He seems like a run of the mill sociopath that runs off the work other people do
I knew this was going to happen. It's highly unlikely that a man cheats on his wife for the first time after age 60. This was just the first time he was outed for it.
I hated the misogynistic narrative that Huang was somehow helpless against a super-spy-seductress. Men can in fact control themselves, and it takes a lot of effort, you might even say willpower, to turn a business meeting into a bedroom encounter, especially when you're in the public eye. If Huang was targeted, it was because he was an easy target, a philanderer.
Looks to me like he has a target on his back, and people are just throwing stuff at it now. This could have come out years ago, if it is true. No reason not to. None, not in this day and age.
So it's all opportunistic, at this point.

Can someone explain how the CEO sex life is relevant? Is it because of the risk of a messy divorce that can both distract the CEO and eventually force voting share transfer since he’s also a shareholder?
Is the affair just be on surface like chitchat and dates, holding hands and kissing minus the Elon level of bed and babies? In the traditional western context you have to bed the women to consider affairs. Anything on surface is more like feminist definition of affair. Can anyone confirm the bedding part? Or even babies like Elon?
> Mr. Huang’s security witnessed the bystander with their phone and sequestered them, the people said. They made the person an offer to sign a nondisclosure agreement
This is not their first rodeo, is it? Wonder how much was offered? Did the person take it? ("hey, psst, we'll throw the latest GPU card on the table, how about now?")
Then, will Huang issue another, equally sincere, public apology to his wife about this other affair. He could have grouped them both into a batch for efficiency I guess.

Gotta get me a sharp looking leather jacket - that must be what's getting him all this action.
At this point there's a good chance there are much more than just two affairs.
He's trying to be a Japanese businessman from the 1980s.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C5%8Dsuke_Uno#Economics
Uno was highly criticized in public not for having a Geisha mistress, as it was a traditional leisure practice expected of politicians and wealthy men but instead due to relating his poor financial habits in the Japanese Diet as compared and paralleled to the ungenerosity towards his former Geisha mistress.tbh if jensen is that prolific i wouldnt be shocked if lori huang knows and has like, made her peace with it.
Maybe I'm too old and stupid but I'm less concerned knowing that the guy has a few mistresses. It makes it less likely that any of these ladies are tugging on his heart strings for the keys to his kingdom. Nvidia security is probably all over these affairs monitoring his communications, personal devices...
Well, there goes the productivity bragging he does about his nonstop work ethic and sheer number of direct reports.
The jacket, it's all because of that shiny leather jacket...
I'm not condoning cheating at all, but if you're a billionaire with endless connections around the world, why wouldn't you just go to an escort if you can't keep it in your pants.
I know things are different when you're only thinking with your johnson but jeez, showing up with the same woman in front of the media many times and even displaying affection in front of a camera (there is pictures of them with light body contact afaik), what did he think was going to happen?
I assumed he’d survive the one affair. A second one? Now I’m not so sure.
Michael J. Burry getting two for the price of one
If he were French, no one would have blinked.
Leave Jensen alone!!
Now we have to live through this nonsense for 10 years in the news.
He should have retired and done a handover last month and left at his peak to a beach villa on Maui...
In the end a Chinese model was a risk to national security...
What a massive scandal. It is over.
Purely accident that the news dribbles out like that. Nothing to see, moving on.
(If he's done this without his wife's full consent, he's certainly a despicable human, but that doesn't change that this looks like a really nicely orchestrated PR hit job)
He's kind of like 'scum bag lite' and now barely qualifies to join the rest of the mega wealthy and powerfull in there conspicuos imunity from censure.
