BILLIONAIRE’S SEX SCANDAL NIGHTMARE: Nvidia boss faces axe after TWO affairs, including alleged fling with suspected Chinese spy
UNITED STATES – He built a $4 trillion technology empire, conquered the AI revolution and became one of the richest men on earth. Now Nvidia boss Jensen Huang is facing a spectacular boardroom crisis as TWO alleged affairs threaten to bring his corporate reign crashing down.
The 63-year-old billionaire is at the centre of an explosive scandal involving an alleged relationship with a woman suspected of having links to Chinese intelligence – followed by claims of a second affair with a senior executive inside his own company.
The second woman is Kimberly Powell, 48, Nvidia’s vice-president of healthcare, who worked under Huang.
Five current and former employees told The New York Times about the alleged relationship, while two sources claimed the pair were filmed behaving affectionately at a San Jose hotel during Nvidia’s March 2026 developer conference. The newspaper said it had not independently viewed the footage.
Both Huang and Powell are married to other people.
The scandal has turned into a corporate nightmare, with The Wall Street Journal reporting that Nvidia’s board was preparing to consider Huang’s future at the company he co-founded in 1993.
The first controversy involved Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore-based data company Megaspeed, who is suspected by US intelligence officials of having links to Chinese intelligence.
Huang admitted marital infidelity in a message to employees, apologising for betraying the trust of his family.
The second affair has raised fresh questions about executive conduct, workplace relationships and possible conflicts of interest.
And the financial fallout has been brutal, with Nvidia shares sliding around eight percent in after-hours trading as the scandal rattled investors.
An independent investigation is examining whether Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation and whether sensitive corporate information was compromised. Nvidia says there is no reason to believe its secrets were exposed.
From Silicon Valley’s golden boy to a billionaire fighting for his job, Huang is facing the most extraordinary crisis of his career.
His AI empire may be worth trillions. But his boardroom troubles could prove priceless.
