Huang lost his $5 trillion empire because of sex—two affairs cost him the NVIDIA CEO seat and could cost him another $80 billion.
In 1993, Jensen Huang co-founded NVIDIA with two engineers, starting with an initial capital of only $40,000.
Over the next three decades, he revolutionized computer graphics and gaming, laid the foundations for the boom in artificial intelligence, and increased NVIDIA's market capitalization nearly 14-fold.
Under Huangs leadership, NVIDIA has become the most valuable company in the world, with a value of about $5 trillion. But now his empire is under threat following revelations of affairs with two women.
On top of that, Huang could lose up to $80 billion of his personal fortune if his wife files for divorce. She was by his side even before NVIDIA was founded and can claim half of his fortune in a divorce settlement.
