The couple are co-trustees of three trusts that held nearly 669 million Nvidia shares in March. A September SEC filing put those direct holdings at about 608 million shares, with additional stock held through companies owned by their living trust. Nvidia says the Huangs may share voting and investment power over the shares.
Forbes estimated Jensen Huang’s net worth at about $145 billion as of Thursday, Nov. 12, ranking him the world’s 13th-richest person. Half that amount would be roughly $72.5 billion, enough to place Lori among the richest women on Forbes’ annual list. But that is only a rough comparison, not a divorce settlement estimate: the outcome would depend on which assets qualify as marital property and whether the couple signed a prenup or postnup. The source says those details are unclear. In California, courts generally divide community property equally unless spouses agree to another arrangement.
Lori Huang had a career in the chip industry before Jensen co-founded Nvidia in 1993. The two met as lab partners in an electrical engineering class at Oregon State University. Jensen told The New Yorker in 2023 that Lori earned more than he did when they found jobs in Silicon Valley. She later left the workforce to raise their children, Madison and Spencer, both of whom now work at Nvidia.
Lori also runs the Jen-Hsun & Lori Huang Foundation, which reported $9.1 billion in net assets at the end of 2024. The couple gave Oregon State $50 million toward a research center bearing their names. The foundation has also bought graphics-processor time and donated it to universities and nonprofits for research. The source compares Lori’s potential position with MacKenzie Scott, who received an Amazon stake worth $38.3 billion when her divorce from Jeff Bezos was finalized; the comparison does not establish what a Huang settlement would look like.
