The accusations that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had an alleged relationship with a Chinese spy have taken a toll on his net worth. However, he’s still an extremely wealthy man.
Huang fell out of the top 10 rankings of the top 10 richest people in the world as the company’s stock plunged amid the ongoing controversy. In fact, he had lost $8.4 billion off his net worth by November 11, Forbes reported. However, Huang is still a billionaire many times over.

Much of Jensen Huang’s Net Worth Is Tied Up in Stocks
A large portion of Huang’s net worth is tied up in Nvidia stock. Huang “owns approximately 4% of Nvidia,” Mashable reported, adding that the company has become a leader in artificial intelligence.
According to Mashable, Huang also owns a large real estate portfolio with his wife, Lori. That portfolio includes:
- A Los Altos Hills home purchased in 2003 for $6.9 million.
- A Maui home purchased in 2004 for $7.5 million.
- A San Francisco mansion purchased in 2017 for $38 million.
He also has a number of luxury vehicles, including Teslas and a Lamborghini and owns more than 50 of his signature leather jackets, according to Mashable. Huang has about “740 million Nvidia shares into a web of family trusts and limited liability companies,” The New York Post reported. Lori and Jensen Huang have been married for more than 40 years.
Forbes reported that Huang is alleged to have had an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, “who the U.S. believes was recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security to collect information on the company.”
According to Forbes, it’s possible that Huang’s wife Lori could get half of his net worth if they divorce because of California’s community property laws. However, it’s not clear whether the couple has a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement of any kind.
“The odds of them having a prenup are very low,” Robert Farzad, a California divorce lawyer told The Post. “They met pretty young, in college, and he didn’t have anything when they met.”
They met as teenagers in couple and went on to have two kids together, who both work at Nvidia, according to The Post.
