To oust or not to oust – an unenviable dilemma for any company board. But for the ten highly remunerated members of Nvidia's senior leadership team, determining the future of the firm's legendary co-founder Jensen Huang – following the astonishing revelations that he'd had an extra-marital affair with an alleged Chinese spy – was exceptionally challenging.

Should they decide to unseat him, trillions of dollars could be lost in the firm's share price, to say nothing of the impact on a company whose fortunes had been interwoven with the billionaire for more than 30 years.

Then, even as the board was gathering for the meeting on Wednesday, news broke that Huang had strayed a second time.

To the grievous offence of consorting with a Chinese 'businesswoman' suspected by the US government of passing secrets to Beijing was now added a new and – in the U.S. corporate world – equally serious offence of having conducted a sexual relationship with one of his own subordinates.

Huang, the 63-year-old CEO of the gargantuan company that is at the heart of the AI boom, had been captured in a video shot by a bystander 'being affectionate' with Kimberly Powell, 48, Nvidia's 'vice president of healthcare', at a hotel in San Jose, California.

Like Huang, Powell is married, and Nvidia has strict rules on relationships between colleagues, particularly bosses and employees, as was the case here.

Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang, 63, has been married to his wife Lori (seen together in April 2026) for over 40 years after they met as lab partners at Oregon State University in the 1980s
