Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s wife, Lori Huang, could potentially receive around $75 billion in a divorce settlement if the couple separates, following the billionaire’s admission of an extramarital affair.

According to Forbes, Jensen Huang’s estimated net worth stood at $155.2 billion as of November 9, making him one of the world’s richest people. His admission of infidelity has sparked speculation about a possible divorce, although neither spouse has announced plans to end their marriage.

The couple has been married since the mid-1980s, long before Huang co-founded Nvidia.

The potential settlement is linked to California’s community property laws, under which assets acquired during marriage are generally considered jointly owned and can be divided equally in a divorce.

This could include Huang’s Nvidia shares, income from the company, real estate, and other assets accumulated during the marriage.

Forbes estimates that Lori Huang could potentially receive at least $75 billion if the couple divorces, depending on the value and ownership of their assets.

However, the actual settlement could be different depending on whether the couple signed a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement and whether certain assets qualify as separate property.

According to Nvidia’s 2026 proxy statement, most of the shares attributed to Jensen Huang are held in trusts where both he and his wife serve as co-trustees and may have shared beneficial interests.

Huang acknowledged his affair in a statement to employees, apologising to his wife and children and saying his actions had hurt them. He also said he hoped to rebuild his family’s trust.

However, there is no confirmation that the couple plans to divorce. Lori Huang has not publicly indicated whether she intends to end the marriage.

Forbes noted that any potential settlement would depend on the couple’s financial arrangements and the assets considered jointly owned.
