chip giantHuida (Nvidia, also translated as Nvidia) FounderJen-Hsun Huang (Jensen Huang) had an extramarital affair with a Chinese female spy, and the public controversy spread to the two children. netizens on social media
At a meeting of all departments of the company in the summer of 2025, Huang Renxun commented on the controversy surrounding Huida employees’ children joining the team. He said that if parents are ashamed of their children then they should not recommend them.
In the meeting he said that the children of many of his colleagues also work in HUIDA and he is not concerned about it at all. He said many “second-generation Nvidia” employees are actually performing better than their parents.
The Information, a paid subscription-based technology business news website, reported at the time that Huang Renxun made the statement at the same time that his son Huang Shengbin and daughter Huang Minshan were playing an important role within Huida in the future development of the department, but their previous career development had nothing to do with technology.
The report pointed out that the career development path of Huang Renxun’s children is completely opposite to the children of other technology giants. The sons and daughters of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates have left their father’s business to find other careers.
The children of Huida co-founder Chris Malachowski and independent director Aarti Shah also work at Huida. Huida’s trend of “hiring close relatives” has become prominent in Silicon Valley.
Huang Shengbin ran the Bar R&D Cocktail Lab in Taipei from 2013 to 2021, and later went to New York University to study for a Technology MBA. In July 2022, he joined Huida as cloud simulation product manager.
Huang Minshan studied at Le Cordon Bleu in the United States and worked at Hennessy Louis Vuitton Boutique Group (LVMH). After joining Huida, he mainly invested in the Omniverse software business.
Greg Estes, who served as vice president of corporate marketing at Huida for nearly 16 years before retiring last year, once said that Huida used family members, but Huang’s children “worked very hard” and performed well in their respective areas of responsibility and participated in company affairs wholeheartedly.
