Former NVIDIA CEO Huang lost everything because of sex—he spent 33 years building a $5 trillion empire, but two affairs cost him his throne.
In 1993, 30-year-old Huang founded NVIDIA with two engineers with a starting capital of only $40,000.
Over the course of a third of a century, he revolutionized graphics and gaming, laid the foundation for the artificial intelligence boom, and increased NVIDIA's capital almost 14-fold - from $360 billion to $5 trillion.
His wife was with him billions of years ago. They went to school together and married eight years before NVIDIA was founded.
Now, if his wife files for divorce, Huang risks losing half of his fortune - potentially about $80 billion.
His whole family is also related to NVIDIA. His two children and also his son-in-law work in the company. So it's not just a blow to business.
Now in history he risks remaining not a revolutionary who changed technology and the entire world, but a 63-year-old man accused of having ties with a "Chinese spy" and subordinate to him.
