Jensen Huang’s net worth drops $10 billion as Nvidia stock slides in the fallout of affair scandals with company exec and alleged spy

ملخص مفصل

Jensen Huang is no longer one of the top 10 richest billionaires in the world, tumbling down past Walmart heirs Jim Walton, Rob Walton, and Alice Walton.

New details of Jensen Huang’s alleged affairs with a Nvidia executive and suspected Chinese spy have sent Nvidia stock sliding this week. Huang resigned as CEO this morning, and Nvidia’s CFO, Colette Kress, will serve as the interim leader.
