ANOTHER ONE

Trumpy Billionaire Hit With New Workplace Sex Scandal

Jensen Huang is now said to have engaged in a third extramarital affair.

Scandal-ridden former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had another intimate relationship with a subordinate, marking the third allegation of an extramarital affair within the last week.

In addition to Alice Huang, of no relation, whom U.S. intelligence suspects is a Chinese spy, and Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of health care, Reuters now reports a third woman in the mix. The outlet did not name the third woman.

Huang, 63, admitted to having an affair with Alice in a statement last week, although he did not name her.

“I was unfaithful to my wife,” Huang said in a company-wide message obtained by the Daily Beast. “My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry.”

He and his wife, Lori Mills, met in college and have two children, Spencer, 35, and Madison, 34. Both work at Nvidia.

The fallout from Huang’s affairs has been catastrophic.

Huang, whose net worth exceeds $160 billion, announced his resignation as the company’s board convened a late-night meeting on Wednesday as they considered firing him. Stock in the AI company has also drastically fallen.

The walls began closing in on Huang after the New York Times reported last week that he had seemingly fallen into a Chinese honey trap.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio was reportedly behind the classified document brought to President Donald Trump’s desk in the spring, which Trump is said to have ignored.

That memo had concluded that Alice, a 49-year-old Chinese citizen, had been purchasing Nvidia’s advanced AI chips and smuggling them into China.

Days later, the Times revealed that Huang had also been intimate with Powell, 48, who joined Nvidia in 2008 and reports directly to Huang. She is also married to 54-year-old Graham Gerade.

The pair were seen getting cozy at a company conference in March at a hotel in San Jose, California.

Huang, when asked about Powell by the Times, said, “I don’t think you should be talking to me directly,” then hung up.

Hours later, he had left the $4 trillion company he co-founded in a Denny’s in 1993.

President Donald Trump, himself having faced numerous accusations of cheating on romantic partners, has stood by Huang in recent days.

“I just know Jensen very well,” he said. “I just think he’s a very honorable man.”

Huang and Trump were close allies, with Huang paying frequent visits to the White House and teaming up with the Trump administration for various AI initiatives. Huang is so close to the president that he even sat at his table with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the September state dinner at the White House.

He weighed in on his resignation earlier Thursday, while offering his unsolicited take on who should replace him.

“NOW THAT Nvidia CEO JENSEN HUANG, who has done a fantastic job, has resigned, there is only one man to take his place - TIM COOK of Apple. A Legend replaces a Legend!”
