Quick Summary

This timeline chronicles the events surrounding Jensen Huang’s resignation as CEO of Nvidia following the exposure of his extramarital affairs. The report details how Huang was linked to Alice Huang, an executive at Megaspeed allegedly recruited by Chinese intelligence to collect information on him, and later faced accusations of a second affair with Nvidia’s vice-president of healthcare. Following Huang's public apology and resignation in November 2026, the company’s valuation remains at approximately US$4 trillion while analysts suggest the move will help the firm refocus on its daily operations.
