Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang has admitted to cheating on his wife with a suspected Chinese spy as the $4.5 trillion technology company launched an investigation into whether he was targeted by foreign espionage.
Huang, 63, sent a memo to staff on Sunday that read: ‘I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did,’ according to a company-wide memo obtained by the Daily Mail.
His extramarital relationship became a US government concern after surveillance footage revealed that the woman, Alice Huang, was delivering information to Beijing, an intelligence memo revealed.
The Nvidia chief and his mistress have no relation, despite sharing the same surname. The billionaire has not admitted to knowing that Ms Huang is a spy.
‘To my wife and family: I love you. I know an apology cannot undo what I have done. I hope our family will heal and that, over time, I can earn back your trust,’ Huang added.
Jensen Huang has been married to his wife Lori for 41 years, and they share two adult children, Madison and Spencer.
Nvidia’s board has said that it had ‘no reason to believe that either national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised’ as a result of their relationship, but that it ‘will examine all available information.’ Huang has supported the review, it added.
