00:00:30 remember this guy the ceo i think he was like an astronomer who got caught at a coldplay concert
00:00:39 on the kiss cam cheating on his wife he walked that ceo walked so jensen huang another billionaire
00:00:45 ceo could run that's what we're talking about today another billionaire cheating infidelity
00:00:50 scandal imagine marrying a man before he had money before he was famous before he built one
00:00:54 of the most successful companies in the world you spend more than four decades together you raise
00:00:59 children together, you have a family, you grow old alongside each other. Then your husband finds
00:01:03 himself in the middle of a massive infidelity scandal with an alleged Chinese spy. And did I
00:01:08 mention that company, the company that he's the CEO of, is one of the most strategically important
00:01:12 technology companies, especially when it comes to the race for AI. And then some people on the
00:01:17 internet decide that you, as the woman, the woman who was cheated on, you're actually the problem
00:01:21 because you had the audacity to age. No, I'm not kidding. That's part of the conversation unfolding 0.79
00:01:28 rounding NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and some of the reactions I have seen are genuinely unbelievable.
00:01:35 But the actual scandal, of course, is just as crazy. We're talking about one of the wealthiest
00:01:39 men in the world, allegations of extramarital affairs, and even concerns about Chinese espionage.
00:01:47 We've got a lot to unpack. And beyond the scandal itself, I think there's something
00:01:50 deeply disturbing about what the public reaction reveals about how we view marriage and women
00:01:57 and aging and personal responsibility. I think it's important to start with who is Jensen Huang.
00:02:04 What is NVIDIA? Jensen Huang is the 63-year-old co-founder and CEO of NVIDIA. Now, NVIDIA,
00:02:11 as I alluded to, is an American technology company responsible for making some of the most
00:02:15 advanced computer chips in the entire world. It is at the center of the artificial intelligence
00:02:23 revolution, AI, or as President Trump likes to call it, SI, which I think is kind of silly to
00:02:28 get into the semantics of it. Whatever. It's technology that helps power AI data centers
00:02:33 and some of the most sophisticated computing systems on the entire planet. So again,
00:02:39 not just domestically, this is like a global company. At one point, NVIDIA surpassed a
00:02:45 valuation of $5 trillion. $5 trillion with a T. Jensen founded the company in 1993 and he has
00:02:54 been running it ever since. That means that he is probably one of the most powerful people in terms
00:02:59 of wealth, networking abilities, power. He's probably one of the most powerful people in
00:03:04 the entire world. And his company is strategically important to the United States. Again, particularly
00:03:09 when it comes to competition with China in this race for AI. Which brings us to the scandal.
00:03:16 According to recent reporting, Jensen developed a relationship with a woman named Alice Wong.
00:03:21 Now, they have the same last name, it appears, it seems, but they're not married. There's no
00:03:25 relation. Actually, she is an executive at a Singapore-based company that purchased NVIDIA
00:03:30 chips. And American intelligence officials have reportedly suspected this woman of gathering
00:03:35 information to report back to the Chinese government. She is a Chinese spy, allegedly.
00:03:41 Again, to be very clear, the espionage allegations, they have not been publicly proven.
00:03:47 NVIDIA said that it has no reason to believe that company secrets or national security were
00:03:52 compromised. But you can understand why this would raise some really serious concerns.
00:03:58 The CEO of one of America's most strategically important technology companies was reportedly
00:04:03 romantically involved with someone suspected of gathering intelligence for china um that's not
00:04:09 where things end things get even worse um jensen publicly had not acknowledged being unfaithful 0.99
00:04:16 to his wife which like i mean can you give him props for it not really i think he's a scumbag 0.82
00:04:21 but nonetheless he he acknowledged such just like the coldplay guy did uh the guy who got caught on 0.89
00:04:26 the the kiss cam at the coldplay concert but now we're learning there have also been reports of
00:04:31 another alleged extramarital relationship involving a NVIDIA employee. How can someone
00:04:37 be intelligent enough to build a multi-billion, multi-trillion actually, dollar company and still
00:04:44 make decisions that could jeopardize his marriage and his career and potentially even national
00:04:50 security? I think sometimes we confuse professional success with good judgment. Someone can be
00:04:56 brilliant in business and remarkably foolish in their own personal life. I think we've seen this 0.96
00:05:01 over the years, especially in the age of social media, where it feels like nothing really is off
00:05:06 limits and things have the ability to spread like this. Money doesn't make someone immune to
00:05:11 consequences. But here's where the story takes a turn that I find is particularly telling. Instead
00:05:18 of focusing entirely on Jensen's decisions that led to the downfall of his marriage and potentially
00:05:22 his career, people started looking at and blaming his wife. Now we've got a picture of both of them
00:05:28 on screen, Jensen and his wife, Lori. They've been married since 1985. You just heard me say
00:05:34 he didn't start the company until 1993. So she was with him through all of the stages of his
00:05:40 success. They've been married for 41 years. Apparently they met while studying electrical
00:05:45 engineering at Oregon State University. They met, they dated, they got married before he was a
00:05:52 billionaire, before he was famous, before anyone knew his name. They married eight years before
00:05:56 he founded the company. Actually, Lori was an engineer herself and she reportedly earned more
00:06:03 than Jensen early in their careers. She later ended up stepping away from her career to focus
00:06:08 on raising their two children. Now, I don't know the private details of their marriage and I'm not
00:06:14 going to pretend that I do. I don't know actually if she even knew about, maybe she knew about the
00:06:20 different arrangements that he was having. I have no idea. I know how I would feel in that scenario,
00:06:27 and it's not something that I would be okay with. I think his public apology maybe is indication
00:06:32 that she didn't know about this. But nonetheless, I think 41 years of building a life together
00:06:38 deserves some respect. And in Jensen's public apology, he actually acknowledged something
00:06:43 important. He said his family bore no responsibility for his decisions and that it was only him.
00:06:50 I appreciate that acknowledgement. It doesn't erase what happened. It doesn't mean that there
00:06:54 shouldn't be consequences, but at least he recognized that his wife wasn't responsible
00:06:58 for his behavior. But apparently some people on the internet did not get that memo. I have
00:07:05 come across some of the most despicable comments and quote tweets and posts specifically on
00:07:10 Twitter. Again, that's most often where I consume news, cultural news, political news,
00:07:16 it doesn't matter. I find myself most often scrolling on X. I've seen comments that say
00:07:22 things like, you know, I don't condone cheating, but the Jensen Huang situation is a reminder that 1.00
00:07:27 women need to look smacks too. Like that is so unserious. Women need to look smacks. And then 1.00
00:07:34 the person went on to suggest that men are expected to make money and stay fit and maintain
00:07:38 their appearance while women can stop trying once they're married or they'll force their husbands to
00:07:43 upgrade. First of all, what? What an absolutely insane way to view marriage. And I love how it 1.00
00:07:50 begins with, I don't condone cheating, but there should never be a but after that because everything
00:07:56 after that is essentially an attempt to justify cheating, infidelity, being unfaithful to your
00:08:01 life partner. And the most ridiculous part is the suggestion that a woman is actually forcing her 0.58
00:08:06 husband. He is left with no other choice than to cheat because she doesn't look young enough 0.96
00:08:11 anymore because she's not looks maxing enough. I don't even think I used that word, that verbiage
00:08:17 right. We were talking about a 63-year-old billionaire. I would actually say they're
00:08:21 comparable in their looks, by the way. I don't think one of them is more attractive than the
00:08:26 other. I think they make a pretty well-suited couple together. Neither is mogging the other.
00:08:31 How about that for some Gen Z lingo? Jensen Huang is not mogging his wife or maybe soon to be ex-wife
00:08:38 lori and what we're supposed to just believe that he's incapable of exercising self-control because
00:08:43 his wife aged like give me a break people men will spend 24 hours all day talking about how
00:08:50 women are such gold diggers and then they make up posts like this putting down a woman who spent 40
00:08:57 years by a man's side before he had achieved anything this person says this which a woman 0.97
00:09:02 posted this which is beyond me she said not excusing infidelity but there's that but again
00:09:07 But she looks like his mom. 0.99
00:09:08 She isn't even trying to look somewhat sexy with all of her money.
00:09:11 And then everyone is surprised.
00:09:12 He's still pretty charming in his age. 1.00
00:09:14 Women need to keep themselves sexy for their men. 1.00
00:09:16 Otherwise, this happens. 1.00
00:09:18 Just my opinion.
00:09:19 This person is such a pick me, in my opinion.
00:09:22 Like, you are a pick me. 1.00
00:09:23 I think women should attempt to maintain a level of more so fitness than attractiveness, 1.00
00:09:30 in my opinion. 1.00
00:09:31 At least for me.
00:09:32 And when I think about the things that I do to, number one, keep myself healthy.
00:09:37 I think that's probably the most important.
00:09:40 You want to be healthy.
00:09:41 You want to have functionality.
00:09:42 You want to be able to live a long, functional, healthy life.
00:09:46 That number one.
00:09:47 But secondly, I do want to maintain a level of attractiveness, if you will, for my husband.
00:09:51 But I don't think it's in appearing to be younger per se.
00:09:56 Maybe I guess that's a side effect.
00:09:58 But I more so think it's in being as fit as I can possibly be.
00:10:02 I don't know. 0.94
00:10:02 I just feel like this idea that a wealthy man should be able to upgrade to a younger woman 0.99
00:10:07 like upgrade? When do we start talking about marriage? Like it's a dating app as though 0.96
00:10:13 you're constantly evaluating your options and looking for someone younger or prettier or
00:10:18 wealthier or more successful. This is kind of like the inverse of Alex Cooper. Remember what
00:10:23 she said of her and Sophia Bush of like, you can always do better. Like women, if you're 1.00
00:10:27 questioning yourself, um, am I worth it? You can always do better. This is the inverse of that 1.00
00:10:34 between holiday travel and big meals and just everyone getting sick this time of year keeping
00:10:40 my gut health in check is a priority of mine that is why i love cowboy colostrum that's why
00:10:45 actually i initially started taking it for my gut but i've also noticed yes less bloating but clear
00:10:51 skin and fuller hair cowboy actually conducted a clinical study where 83 of participants reported
00:10:57 improved gut health and 79 reported less bloating and inflammation it's true first day whole
00:11:04 colostrum from 100% American grass-fed cows packed with nutrients that support gut and immune health.
00:11:10 Plus, they only collect the surplus after baby calves have had their first fill. I mix it into
00:11:16 my beverage of choice. I have strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, pumpkin spice. I have cookies and cream.
00:11:20 I have all of the flavors. Sometimes I put it in my coffee. Sometimes I put it in my protein shake.
00:11:25 It's so easy and it's so good. It tastes like a dessert, especially the cookies and cream flavor,
00:11:30 In my humble opinion, our listeners can always get 25% off their entire cowboy purchase using
00:11:36 code RGS. That stands for Riley Gaines Show. Use code RGS for 25% off your entire purchase. But
00:11:43 for a limited time, a cowboy is actually doing a really incredible black Friday discount. If you

00:11:53 and use code RGS. Again, Riley Gaines show RGS at checkout. Jensen Huang is really seeming to
00:12:01 test that theory. Like if your circumstances improve, then naturally you should be able to
00:12:06 like trade out for a better spouse. You're entitled to that. That's just such a transactional
00:12:11 way to view relationships. I said it when Alex Cooper said what she did and I'm saying it now,
00:12:16 your wife, your spouse, they're not a depreciating asset. Um, that's the person that you made a
00:12:22 commitment to it just kills me how like completely distorted our expectations of aging have become
00:12:29 um lori huang she's in her 60s she's a grandma i actually don't know if she's a grandma but
00:12:35 generally when you're in your 60s that's like grandma age and people are shocked that she
00:12:39 looks like a grandma that she looks like she's in her 60s what exactly is she supposed to look like
00:12:44 um i think hollywood and celebrity culture have given people an extraordinarily unrealistic 1.00
00:12:50 realistic expectation of what aging should actually look like. We're constantly looking
00:12:55 at celebrities with access, first of all, lots of money and resources and contacts to the best
00:13:01 plastic surgeons. Look at someone like Kris Jenner, by the way. We should put a picture of her on
00:13:04 screen. I'm going to look up how old is Kris Jenner. She's 71. She is 71. Does this woman look 0.94
00:13:14 like she's 71? She looks great. Like her plastic surgeon, 10 out of 10. Phenomenal. Like looks 0.99
00:13:20 amazing, but she doesn't look 71 years old. She just doesn't. Um, no shame to her. I guess if 0.88
00:13:27 you can afford it, that's what you want to spend your money on. It's not illegal. It doesn't cost
00:13:31 me my taxpayer dollars. I don't really care what you do, but why does what Kris Jenner does and
00:13:37 what a lot of women in Hollywood do, why is that the standard for women who, who are aging? Um, 0.99
00:13:44 we're constantly looking at celebrities with access to again, money, expensive cosmetic
00:13:49 procedures, personal trainers and makeup artists and professional lighting and photo editing.
00:13:55 And after seeing that long enough, seeing that photo of Christian or long enough, 0.51
00:13:58 people start believing that a woman looking 35 at 71 is normal. And it's not, I just don't think 0.98
00:14:05 there's anything wrong with aging naturally. Um, I've said it before. I'm not anti-Botox.
00:14:10 I'm not necessarily anti-plastic surgery. If someone wants to do that, that's their own
00:14:15 business, but I just view aging as a blessing. Like growing old is such a privilege that not
00:14:21 everyone gets and getting to grow old alongside your spouse is even more rare. And certainly
00:14:28 something that I believe we should be celebrating, but instead we've created a culture where a woman 0.91
00:14:33 can spend decades raising children, supporting her husband and building a life with her husband,
00:14:37 only to be criticized that she doesn't look the same way that she did at 25, presumably because
00:14:41 she has a lot of money to make herself look that way, if she so desired. And the irony is we're
00:14:47 also talking about a man in his 60s, and he looks like a man in his 60s. It is being reported that
00:14:52 she could face a potential $81 billion in a divorce settlement following his affair, which
00:14:59 would be the largest divorce settlement in history, which people, again, keep seeing people online 0.81
00:15:05 saying, you know, she'll be okay with $80 billion. But that is just such a young person way to look
00:15:11 at the situation. Again, she's like almost 65 years old. I would imagine that all she wants
00:15:16 is her husband and some normalcy. Reminder that there are some things that money, even 1.00
00:15:22 $81 billion, there are things that money can't buy. She can't buy another four decades with
00:15:27 someone. I mean, realistically, what, she would be 105 years old. You can't buy four more decades
00:15:32 with someone. You can't manufacture the memories of raising children together. You can't go back
00:15:40 and recreate all those years before NVIDIA existed
00:15:43 and before the money and before the world knew his name.
00:15:45 And I think that's what makes the story so sad.
00:15:47 Well, that and the fact that like, it's not uncommon,
00:15:51 especially in the technology space,
00:15:54 billionaire CEO technology space, I guess you can say.
00:15:57 Bill Gates has had affairs.
00:15:59 Jeff Bezos has as well.
00:16:01 I do think it's interesting.
00:16:02 And maybe it's just like the age of social media
00:16:04 that we live in.
00:16:05 I do think it's interesting that neither of them face this,
00:16:07 you know, sort of immediate pressure to be ousted as CEO when they did. I don't know if it's worth
00:16:15 like, you know, really thinking, is there something to that? Is there something else
00:16:19 going on there? Tech billionaires having affairs or women problems, it's not new.
00:16:24 Like, could it be a hit by Anthropic? I don't know. Again, you guys know I'm not much of a
00:16:29 conspiracist. I'm just not. I think this was an unfaithful man. Maybe I'm totally wrong. Maybe
00:16:35 I'm just naive to the world around me. I do think that is a little bit of the case, but I don't know.
00:16:40 And we have seen where Elon Musk said that he would hire Jensen Long. Someone tweeted, Elon,
00:16:45 please hire Jensen. And he responded, that would be an honor. I don't know if he's like after his
00:16:51 intellect, probably if you're able to build a company worth $5 trillion, it would make sense
00:16:56 that you're sought after. But I just think it's interesting amidst all of these allegations,
00:17:00 Elon is like, yes, I will hire you. Unsurprising given the fact that he has multiple baby mamas 0.91
00:17:05 and like a bajillion kids. This must be like a tech billionaire CEO thing.
00:17:11 Private student loan debt in the US is around 300 billion with a B US dollars and roughly 45
00:17:18 billion of that is considered distress. For a lot of people, that means one thing, feeling stuck
00:17:23 with no light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe the payments are too high. Maybe a cosigner is still
00:17:28 on the hook maybe every refinance option keeps ending in a no that's where why refi comes in
00:17:34 why refi they help refinance distressed and defaulted private student loans and they look
00:17:39 beyond a traditional credit score they offer personalized solutions flexible repayment options
00:17:44 one-on-one support and in some cases even the chance to release eligible co-signers from the
00:17:49 loan your student loan debt does not and it should not define your future if you have been carrying
00:17:54 this burden and you don't know what to do next you don't know what that next step is why refi
00:17:59 could be the first real step towards relief you can see whether you qualify at why refi.com or
00:18:05 you can call today a better financial future could start with just one conversation electrolyte
00:18:12 brands are everywhere so i get the skepticism but relight stood out to me because it starts with
00:18:17 the source um it's made by redmond the company behind redmond real salt which has been mined in
00:18:22 Utah since 1958 from an ancient Jurassic era seabed. So instead of processed sodium, you get
00:18:29 unrefined real salt with sodium, chloride, and 60 plus trace minerals. The formula stays clean
00:18:36 from there. So that means zero sugar, no artificial sweeteners, no artificial colors, no artificial
00:18:41 flavors, and no chemical preservatives. You also get potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride, and
00:18:46 coconut water powder in the flavored varieties. I like to use it before my workouts. I use it
00:18:52 while traveling during a fast or on busy days. It tastes balanced. It doesn't taste too salty or
00:18:58 too sweet. My favorite flavor is actually the watermelon lime. It is so good. If you want to
00:19:05 try, you can go to redmond.com slash hydrate and use code hydrate for 15% off your first order.
00:19:10 Again, that's redmond.com slash hydrate using code hydrate, or you can click the link in the
00:19:14 description, scan the QR code, or check the pin comment. I don't know what will happen with
00:19:20 Jensen and Lori's marriage. I don't think it's my place to tell her to forgive him. That's entirely
00:19:25 between them. But I do hope this starts a larger conversation about what we actually value as human
00:19:32 beings. What do we value? Because if you're fortunate enough to live a long life, you're
00:19:36 going to age. If you're married, your spouse is going to age. Your bodies are going to change.
00:19:41 One day, neither of you will look anything like what you did when you first fell in love.
00:19:47 but hopefully you'll still look at the person beside you and see something far more valuable
00:19:52 and beautiful than their physical appearance. I hope one day when Louie and I are gray and
00:19:59 wrinkly that I will see the person who I built a life with, the person who I knew before I found
00:20:05 myself in the position that I'm in, the person who stood beside me when things were not always easy,
00:20:12 kind of like a constant in all the ups and downs. And if you can't recognize value
00:20:17 and that right there, then I don't think any amount of money in the world can make you truly
00:20:23 rich. The goal of marriage isn't to stay young together, or at least it shouldn't be to stay
00:20:28 young together. It's to grow old together. At least that's what I hope for me and Louie.
