Billionaires dramatically impoverished by Nvidia boss's sex drive

Three of Nvidia’s top shareholders and executives are no longer on the billionaire list. Four others also lost a significant portion of their capital. The combined losses of seven of the company’s wealthy were about a third of their previous fortunes, according to Forbes.

Nvidia founder Jensen Huang’s fortune has shrunk the most: it has dropped to $145 billion. Since November 8, the company's shares have lost 11% of value, and relative to the October peak fell by 31%. The capital of the remaining six persons involved in the rating decreased by a total of 5.6 billion dollars - to about 21 billion.

From the billionaires club dropped Nvidia CFO Colette Kress, former Vice President of global operations Jay Purie and member of the Board of Directors, venture investor Brooke Sewell.

The fall in quotations occurred against the background of a scandal around the personal life of Huang. The media reported about his relationship with a woman whom US intelligence agencies suspect of having ties with Chinese intelligence. The head of Nvidia himself admitted that he cheated on his wife, and apologized to the family and employees. Later there were publications about his affair with the vice president of the company Kimberly Powell. On November 12, Huang resigned as CEO.
