Lmao, didn’t a guy from Enron do the same thing?
He knew Enron was about to fail but couldn’t sell his shares on the company so faked an affair and divorce so he was forced to sell his shares to pay for the divorce and was able to cash before the shares plunged
Found him: Lou Pai. He had an affair with a stripper and I don’t think he was totally faking it because she got pregnant (or maybe he was really committed to the bit). But yes, he was very high up the corporate ladder and the timing of it was highly suspect.
People have babies for way dumber reasons than cashing out millions/billions.
Absolutely! I was just saying that faking the mistress would suggest that Pai saw Enron getting in trouble and mounted a scandal just to cash out before the crash.
By all accounts that I’ve seen, the guy was a certified sleazebag so if he wanted an excuse to get a divorce, he didn’t even need to fake anything.
IIRC from the book The Smartest Guys in the Room Lou Pai was a frequent strip club visitor.
I’m gonna butcher this, but the story was he would cover himself in cologne to hide the smell before he went home from the club. A coworker he was with asked “wouldn’t you just smell like a glittery person with booze and cologne?” And got subsequently fired for that.
They got married started a horse ranch (2 actually) and lived happily ever after until today even, kinda cute

Lmao it was just scams all the way down.
lets put a big ding on my reputation so i got an excuse to liquify my assets, priorities i guess
Would you rather be a bizarrely rich brief nothing-scandal now laying on a Mexican beach, or a poor nobody on a subway?
those were not his choices
His choices might have been more Never-gonna-work-again-rich disappearing to fuckoff nowhere, or rich but still working. Not much of a choice really.
Who knows, maybe he didn’t like his wife anyway.
*liquidate. Liquify is a setting on a blender.
If they reside in a no-fault state, the infidelity is immaterial to divorce.
But the real question is: who gets the jacket???
Haha, I was going to point out he’s not wearing the leather jacket in this pic.
I don’t get his obsession with it, he’s always worn it, and for the tech industry, that’s even more quirky.
It’s like Zuckerburg’s old white t-shirt thing or Steve Jobs with his turtleneck.
It’s an easy way to get PR as a tech bro, especially in the modern day where one of your main goals is appealing to young men who both buy your products and vote for the people who control how your products are purchased
A lot of famous people have a very simple outfit to discourage photographers.
If you look exactly the same from one day to the next, nobody can make money off taking pictures of you.
I think this is more about the personal branding
“Parker, I can’t pay you for these photos! Spiderman is wearing the same thing in each one!”
it’s like Zuckerberg’s
old white t-shirt thingskinsuitFTFY
I was informed awhile back that my chronic dehumanization of Zuckerberg was technically tied to antisemitic tropes awhile back so I’ve been trying to avoid doing that lol but I appreciate the fix!
My thinking is if there’s anyone we know who loves antisemitism, it’s definitely gonna be the guy who made Facebook.
It’s the humanization of Zuckerberg we need to worry about!
It’s jackets. A massive collection.
With that kinda payout, she could possibly afford a 6090! :O
Hey, if she sleeps with him she could even score a couple thousands GB300!
Jensen’s wife of over 40 years whom he before founding Nvidia
Hey, at least we can be certain a human wrote this article, right?
Now whether its good journalism or not, that’s up for debate.
AI has started dropping words in mimicry of human writing.
I don’t know this, but I suspect it.
I don’t know this, but I suspect it.
I it too
I guess the missing word is “shafted”?
Imagine her getting half of the stocks and immediately selling 🤣
She was a part of this when the voodoo 2 was relevant 100% earnt.
She’s probably stoked. I see 81 billion dollars and an oiled up pool boy in her future
What about her broken heart?
With that kind of money you can just buy a new one from China.
From China? Only if she wants one with a hidden camera.
you’re thinking Meta
Billionaires don’t have those so she’s fine.
They do have feelings. Just look how thirsty of approval Elon gets.
Whoever she thinks she married is already dead. Time to move on
Realizing that can still hurt.
I’m guessing the photo in the article was taken after she realized she had an out.
I think it’s this photo, just look at his face
If he’s willing to cheat on his wife, he’s willing to cheat on his country
Billionaires don’t have countries, they have money. Nothing for them to even cheat on.
They are loyal only to themselves. Everyone else is disposable, including spouses, and kids, and parents.
A naturalized American citizen with dual citizenship in Taiwan if I am correct. So which country? Or is the answer yes?
Yes
Good for Lori.
Shame she married a complete total cunt, but at least there’s a silver lining.
Mostly likely good news for charities.
Imagine building the world’s most valuable AI chip company only to discover that the most expensive single point of failure is your personal life. The $75 billion figure is speculative, but Nvidia having no obvious succession plan is the part shareholders should actually be sweating.
He didn’t “build” shit. Nvidia didn’t become one of the biggest companies overnight because they innovated anything. They just happened to be making video game hardware that was dual use. First for crypto, then for AI. He’s rode the crest of the AI bubble to galactic overvaluation. If she gets this settlement, she’s arguably done more to earn that money than him.
Uhhh dude that “video game hardware” is basically fucking alien technology from the hardware itself, let alone all of firmware / software.
Although he might’ve just been the poster boy, it is very evident that he has been great for engineering at Nvidia as a CEO, given where they were at before AI was even a thing. Without researching the fuck out of him, I frankly find it impossible to believe that he hasn’t been extremely hands on in many ways with their success, even if it’s been from a very top-down manner.
It pains me to write all of this as someone who despises most of these tech bro CEO losers.
Note: this isn’t the compliment it’s possibly gonna sound like: Jensen is the CEO that Musk wishes he was.
I think the innovation was more CUDA than the hardware. AMD and Intel were never really that far behind them.
You mean ATI before it was AMD, and Intel…well intel is still trying to find relevance. I agree with ‘dou9m.’ We shouldn’t downplay this dude’s accomplishment. Most gamers only saw their awesome grahics card as that…until crypto and now AI. I remember when RIVA 128 came out and basically mopped every other card on the market off the market? 3DFX, where are you…Matrox, where are you?
Intel Arc is actually decent from a power efficiency standpoint, and they were coming out with cards that had good amounts of memory for home or workstation AI before prices went nuts. My A770 actually does pretty decently at mid models etc and I’d love to get my hands on a B70.
AMD was never really competitive at the top-end, but their APU’s are very slick and they did have a decent power-per-priced on GPU’s. Even in the ATI days they often made good hardware but the driver stack was abysmal. On non-Windows platforms they’ve been awesome for a long time though, especially purpose-built APU platforms in gaming systems (PS4/5, Xbox after 360, Steam Deck, etc).
Nvidia always kinda tried to capture the “elite” market and went for top dollar, but part of that is marketing given what people were actually doing in terms of gaming.
All I’ll say is there’s a very clear reason why China is doing everything possible to try and undermine Taiwan and it does not shock me at all that they honeypotted Jensen.
This. In like 2011-2012, Nvidia and AMD each had about 40%. Then CUDA caught on. Nvidia making their stuff easier to use, especially for non-gaming purposes, meant they sold a lot better.
You know who wouldn’t have an affair as a CEO?
AI
In before Siri gets Claude pregnant.
WE still don’t know why the AI companies hacked each other. Does an AI hacking another AI count as some sort of violation of another intelligent entity?
The more important question is “do AIs fuck?”
You are wrong. I’ll copy what I wrote in another comment:
It’s not a honey pot. I keep seeing that and it’s NOT what happened.
She’s the CEO (?) of a shell company funneling GPUs to Alibaba. He’s in on it.
You know who else is in on it? Trump and Lutnick.
Do it girl! Cash him out!
Mackenzie Bezos and Melinda Gates will welcome you.
I hate that expression, “windfall”. Like wow, finally she’ll be on stable financial ground!
What weird phrasing. A windfall isn’t being rich, then continuing to be rich… Also, it’s not a surprise… None of this meets the definition of a windfall.
Rich lady divorces rich husband, continues to rich richingly
