Speculations of divorce are rife regarding the personal life of former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. His estimated net worth is $138.4 billion. Find out how much Lori Huang might get in a possible property division according to California law.
Business News: After the resignation of former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, the discussion about his married life and property has increased. Jensen, who married Lori Huang about 41 years ago, is worth billions of dollars. Now the question is arising that if both of them get divorced then how will the property be divided. However, neither of them has announced divorce yet nor has any divorce petition been confirmed.
Jensen and Lori got married 41 years ago
Jensen Huang and Lori Huang met while studying at Oregon State University in America. Both were studying electrical engineering. They became friends during a project in college and later this relationship led to marriage. Both of them got married in the year 1985. About eight years later, in 1993, Jensen founded Nvidia with two of his colleagues.
Lori has been with Jensen for a long time. Both have two children, Madison and Spencer. The family has also created a charitable foundation for works related to education, health and technological research.
How much wealth is Jensen Huang worth?
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Jensen Huang's estimated net worth as of November 13, 2026 was $138.4 billion. In Indian currency this amount is approximately Rs 13 lakh crore. The largest part of his wealth is linked to Nvidia shares. According to Bloomberg report, his stake in the company is about 3.5 percent and about 97 percent of the total wealth is related to this investment.
However, his wealth also fluctuates with changes in Nvidia's shares. His net worth has also suffered due to the fall in the company's shares after his resignation from the post of CEO.
If divorce happens, Lori will get Rs 6.5 lakh crore?
A huge amount is being discussed based on Jensen's net worth. If half of the $138.4 billion is taken out, it will be $69.2 billion. Considering the value of one dollar as Rs 94.10, this amount comes to approximately Rs 6.51 lakh crore. If any one person gets this amount, it could be among the biggest divorce settlements in the world.
But one important thing has to be understood here. This is just an estimate based on mathematics. This does not mean that Lori is certain to get this much wealth. There is no divorce yet. Nor has the court given any order regarding division of property or alimony. How is property divided during a divorce in California?
California, USA, has different rules for dividing property at the time of divorce. Community property law applies here. If understood in simple language, the property created jointly by the husband and wife after marriage is generally considered to be an equal share of both of them. But this rule does not apply to everything. Property held in someone's name before marriage, family inheritance, or personal gifts may be set aside. If the spouses have already made a valid legal agreement regarding property, the court also takes that into consideration.
Jensen Huang and Lori were married when Nvidia was not even started. In such a situation, if a divorce ever arises between the two, then legal questions may arise regarding the shares and other properties of the company. However, this doesn't mean that half of Jensen's net worth will go directly to Lori. First, it has to be seen which property was purchased when, in whose name the shares are and how much amount has been kept in trust or other financial arrangements. Only after investigating these things can the picture of partition become clear.
Will the amount received by Lori be an alimony of Rs 6.5 lakh crore?
In the ongoing discussions regarding the assets of Jenson Huang, an amount of Rs 6.5 lakh crore is also being mentioned. But it would not be right to call it straight alimony. Actually, after divorce, the financial assistance that one spouse receives from the other for maintenance is called alimony. On the other hand, the division of common property created during marriage is a separate legal process.
The court looks at several things when determining how much alimony will be in California. For example, how many years did the marriage last, what is the income of the husband and wife and what are the financial needs of both. Therefore, just by calculating Jensen's net worth, it cannot be said how much amount Lori will get. No court has yet fixed any such amount. In such a situation, there is no basis to declare Rs 6.5 lakh crore as fixed alimony.
Why did divorce speculation increase?
Jensen Huang recently apologized to his family and Nvidia employees after admitting to infidelity to his wife. After this, discussions started regarding his personal life. Meanwhile, on November 12, Nvidia confirmed his resignation from the post of CEO. The company has appointed CFO Colette Cress as interim CEO.
However, it would not be correct to treat Jensen's exit and the future of their marriage as one thing. There has been no public decision regarding divorce from his wife Lori.
