[DigitalToday Seung-a Yoo, intern reporter] A report said Jensen Huang (젠슨 황), former chief executive of Nvidia, who has resigned, had an improper relationship with another internal employee.

Reuters, citing multiple anonymous sources on Nov. 12, reported that former CEO Huang Jensen had a "close relationship" with one Nvidia employee. Reuters did not identify the employee, and Nvidia declined to comment.

Earlier, The New York Times reported on Nov. 11 that former CEO Jensen Huang also had a relationship with Kimberly Powell (킴벌리 파웰), a vice president in Nvidia's healthcare unit. He replied to an NYT inquiry, "It would be better not to talk to me directly." He did not confirm the relationship with Powell. The NYT noted Nvidia's code of conduct requires avoiding conflicts of interest arising from personal relationships.

Former CEO Jensen Huang has officially acknowledged only a relationship with Alice Huang (앨리스 황). He admitted on Nov. 8 that he had been "unfaithful" to his wife, Lori Huang (로리 황). Alice Huang is an executive at Singapore data centre company Megaspeed and U.S. authorities view her as someone who could be a collaborator with the Chinese government. Former CEO Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO and director on Nov. 12, shortly after the NYT report.

Forbes valued former CEO Jensen Huang's net worth at $143 billion. After news of his resignation, his net worth fell 10 percent shortly after the market opened before recovering slightly. He also dropped out of the world's top 10 rich list, ranking 13th. Huang and his wife married in the mid-1980s. Forbes reported that in the event of a divorce, California's community property system would require the couple to split assets in half, and that the couple appear to jointly own a 3.5 percent stake in Nvidia.
