Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person or their instance. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
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.
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.
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?
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!
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.
Imagine her getting half of the stocks and immediately selling 🤣
She was a part of this when the voodoo 2 was relevant 100% earnt.
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.
She’s probably stoked. I see 81 billion dollars and an oiled up pool boy in her future
What about her broken heart?
Billionaires don't have those so she's fine.
They do have feelings. Just look how thirsty of approval Elon gets.
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
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.
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?
Good for Lori.
Shame she married a complete total cunt, but at least there's a silver lining.
I hate that expression, "windfall". Like wow, finally she'll be on stable financial ground!
Do it girl! Cash him out!
Mackenzie Bezos and Melinda Gates will welcome you.
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
For those not in the over 50 crowd - Jensen done fucked up. Lori is quite the catch.
I don't think you should judge Jensen like that. Unless you've experienced affection through a foreign government's honey pot scheme for corporate espionage ... I mean, there's just no true love like that. /s
She deserves it, she helped him build his company after college I think
Go girl. She supported his shit from the start and deserves better.
I hope she does and then uses the money to make his remaining years miserable. Just another billionaire cunt.
I find it incredibly difficult to take this article seriously
Many basic errors in the article, including in the first sentence
That pales in comparison to the biggest error: The author forgot Bill and Melinda Gates divorced
That alone undermines the entire premise of the article. Their divorce was bigger
Epic? EPIC!
