As Jensen Huang, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of NVIDIA, admitted to suspicions of an affair and apologized to his family, attention is also turning to the scale of assets that would go to his spouse in the event of a future divorce.

According to foreign media reports such as BBC and Bloomberg on the 8th (local time), Huang recently acknowledged the fact of the affair in a message sent to NVIDIA employees.

Huang stated, "I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt my wife and children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am truly sorry." He further acknowledged responsibility for his behavior, saying, "My family has given me love and support throughout my life, but I disappointed them and wounded the life we built together."

Huang also apologized to NVIDIA employees, the board of directors, partners, and shareholders, conveying, "I should have been a person worthy of your trust, but I failed to be. I will strive to regain that trust."

Amid this, the controversy is growing as it has been suggested that Huang's affair partner may be a figure linked to Chinese intelligence agencies.

According to foreign media such as The New York Times, U.S. intelligence agencies have suspected that Alice Huang, a Chinese businessman who had a close relationship with Jensen Huang, was recruited by China's Ministry of State Security and engaged in information-gathering activities.

Alice Huang is a former executive at Megaspeed, a Singapore-based data center company known to be one of NVIDIA's major customers.

U.S. authorities have also investigated the possibility that Megaspeed was involved in supplying advanced artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductors, which are subject to export controls on China, to China.

In response, the NVIDIA board announced that it has launched an independent investigation into suspicions that Jensen Huang became a target of information gathering by a foreign intelligence agency. The investigation is expected to be conducted by outside independent directors and external legal experts.

However, NVIDIA explained that there is currently no evidence to believe that U.S. national security or the company's confidential information has been compromised. It also stated that Jensen Huang intends to actively cooperate with the investigation and will continue to serve as CEO.

Subsequently, Forbes, a U.S. business magazine, estimated Jensen Huang's net worth at approximately $162.2 billion as of the 8th, which is estimated to be about 220 trillion won in Hanwha currency. If all of this property were recognized as marital community property and divided equally, the amount going to his spouse would reach approximately $81.1 billion, or about 110 trillion won in Hanwha currency.

Jensen Huang married his wife, Lori Huang, in 1985 and co-founded NVIDIA in 1993. In California, U.S., the community property system is applied, which in principle divides marital community property formed during the marriage equally. This point is being re-examined given that a significant portion of Jensen Huang's wealth stems from the increase in the value of NVIDIA shares established after his marriage.
