The discussion regarding such a massive division of property was triggered by a scandal involving the businessman's extramarital affairs. After publicly admitting to infidelity toward his wife, with whom he has been married since 1985, Jensen Huang stepped down as CEO of Nvidia on November 12.

Stepped down as Nvidia CEO on November 12
Financial Consequences and Legal Aspects
According to Fortune, Jensen Huang's net worth is estimated at approximately $145 billion, most of which is concentrated in Nvidia shares. Since the couple resides in the state of California, assets acquired during the marriage are generally subject to equal division.
Asset Valuation
Despite the potentially enormous sums, the final payout amount may change. As Fortune notes, the final figure will be influenced by the legal status of assets, the existence of prenuptial agreements, and the structure of family trusts.
Context
Jensen Huang is the co-founder and former CEO of the technology company Nvidia, founded in 1993. The scandal surrounding his personal life has also touched upon his connections with Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, whom American intelligence services suspect of cooperating with Chinese intelligence, a claim China officially denies.
