Jensen Huang's Silicon Valley home cost $6.9 million in 2003; it included six bedrooms and a resort-style pool; here's what made it special

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned from his positions as president, chief executive officer and board member of the company with immediate effect on Thursday. Colette Kress has now been appointed as the interim CEO. She will also continue to hold the CFO position. Jensen Huang had claimed that he was unfaithful to his wife. Alice had been under surveillance by US intelligence agencies. According to reports, US intelligence assessments concluded that Alice had been recruited by China's Ministry of State Security (MSS). She was allegedly given the role of developing a close relationship with Jensen, and gathering information about Nvidia. It was reported that China wanted information about Nvidia's advanced AI chips and business strategy. Jensen was reportedly involved in two affairs. The other was reportedly with a subordinate executive. The New York Times reported that Huang had maintained an undisclosed relationship with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of health care.

The Silicon Valley home

Notably, much attention has also shifted to Jensen Huang's personal life and the properties he owned. Huang and his wife, Lori Huang, bought the Los Altos Hills home in 2003 for $6.9 million. It reportedly sits about 15 miles from Nvidia’s Santa Clara offices. This makes it a private as well as convenient Silicon Valley base.

It is a two-story house and covers over 7,000 square feet on more than an acre. It has six bedrooms and a resort-style pool.

Huang and his wife have also invested in other luxurious properties in California and Hawaii.
