Nvidia CEO Admits to Affair with Woman Suspected of Being Spy for China
The board will conduct an independent investigation into potential national security risks, while Nvidia shares fell 4.2% on investor concerns.
- On Sunday, Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang admitted to the board of an affair with Alice Huang, an alleged Chinese spy, prompting directors to launch an independent investigation.
- Nvidia shares fell nearly 9% shortly after the market opened Monday following the revelation, though the stock was down 4.2% by 10:37 a.m. as some investors saw the dip as a buying opportunity.
- United States President Donald Trump defended the executive, calling him an "honorable man" and stating he should remain as CEO, despite having not personally spoken with Huang regarding the matter.
- "The Board's inquiry will examine all available information," directors stated, adding they have no reason to believe national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised by the executive's conduct.
- While the 63-year-old Huang remains singularly credited with Nvidia's recent success, it is unclear if the company has a succession plan in place, though there is no expectation of his retirement anytime soon.
