The New York Times: Jensen Huang was reported to have an extramarital affair with company executive Kimberly Powell
The New York Times cited five individuals who previously worked at NVIDIA, reporting that in addition to the extramarital affair already acknowledged, Jensen Huang also had an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, the Vice President of the company's healthcare business. Powell reports directly to Huang, and both are married.According to insiders, during the NVIDIA GTC developer conference in March this year, the two were spotted behaving intimately at a hotel in San Jose, California. Someone captured footage of the incident on a mobile phone, and Huang's security team subsequently isolated the shooter and requested them to sign a non-disclosure agreement. The New York Times stated that it has not seen the video, and the related relationship had previously been discussed internally within the company. Powell was originally scheduled to speak at the opening ceremony of the Milken Institute Health Summit in Washington on the morning of November 12, but the host, CNN reporter Meg Tirrell, announced that she had canceled her appearance without specifying the reason. When responding to a phone inquiry from a New York Times reporter, Huang stated that he did not believe the other party should speak directly with him, and then hung up the phone.This is the second time in a week that Huang has been exposed for an extramarital affair. Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal reported that NVIDIA's board is preparing to dismiss Huang, with a special meeting scheduled as early as November 11 local time to discuss his future. Following the news, NVIDIA's stock price fell by about 9% in after-hours trading. Since Huang was first reported to have an extramarital relationship with Alice Huang, including the after-hours drop, its stock price has decreased by 18% across the two related reports, resulting in NVIDIA's market value evaporating by approximately $820 billion.
