Nvidia CEO Huang Steps Down Amid FBI Probe

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is stepping down, according to Korea Times reports on Nov. 12, 2026, with the board meeting late Wednesday to decide his fate amid reports of two extramarital affairs, including one with a suspected Chinese spy. The Wall Street Journal reported the board was preparing to oust him, and the FBI has begun an investigation into the affair with an alleged Chinese agent. Nvidia has opened an independent probe into whether Huang was the target of a foreign intelligence effort, after he admitted to being unfaithful to his wife and to an affair with businesswoman Alice Huang, suspected of working for the Chinese government. Shares declined on Monday as the internal investigation put his future under scrutiny, and President Donald Trump suggested former Apple CEO Tim Cook should replace him. Korean outlets report the scandal has tainted Huang's rock-star image in his birthplace, Taiwan, while Megaspeed, the data center firm at the center of the scandal, pledged to cooperate with U.S. probes into national security risks.
