If Jensen Huang were to divorce, his wife could theoretically receive $500 billion: The two met in college and have been married for 41 years.

Beating AI News Flash: After Jensen Huang admitted to an extramarital affair, the public has begun calculating how much of his fortune the Nvidia founder would have to split if he divorced.

Forbes reports that Jensen Huang's current net worth is approximately $155.2 billion. Under California's community property system, assets acquired during the marriage are in principle divided equally between spouses. If all of this wealth is community property, his wife Lori Huang could theoretically receive about $77.6 billion, equivalent to more than RMB 500 billion.

The couple's marriage began before Nvidia was founded.

When Jensen Huang was 17, he met 19-year-old Lori at Oregon State University. Both were electrical engineering students and lab partners. Jensen Huang once recalled that there were about 250 students in the entire major, with only 3 women.

To court Lori, he proactively suggested they do homework together every Sunday and promised he could help her get straight A's. Jensen Huang would finish his own homework in advance and then show her the answers when they met, making himself look especially smart.

He also promised Lori that he would definitely become a CEO before age 30. The two married in 1985. In 1993, Jensen Huang founded Nvidia and became CEO, just as he turned 30.

Lori was originally also a chip engineer, but later left the workforce to take care of their children. Jensen Huang has publicly said that his wife participated in every step of Nvidia's development, accompanying him at almost every launch event and important speech.

Jensen Huang once joked to company executives that since their marriage, his wife has handled almost all of his life affairs, including signing documents and managing the family finances. He said he does not even know the address of their home and never pays bills himself.
