He cheated on his wife with multiple women, it's coming out... I feel bad for her, everyone's saying she'll get billions and that's nice but she's been completely humiliated.
reply
We have no idea what she’s feeling or what she knew. Careful jumping to any conclusions here.

A lot of rich folks have agreements about this kind of thing.

Its best to not assume anything in regards to their relationship.

> but she's been completely humiliated.

That’s a stretch. He’s the CEO of one of the biggest companies in the world. Hearing that he had an affair, or multiple affairs, shouldn’t come as a surprise. The only person here who’s humiliated himself is Jensen, for having an affair with a spy. He was too high and mighty to take the simple route and pay for high end escorts who make you feel good for a couple of hours, and then move on with your life. No, he decided he needed to have a whole relationship on the side.

One is a alleged spy the other a subordinate. It is a giant can of potential legal liabilities for Nvidia.

Nobody would have cared if he simply had a harem of mistresses.

I don't really feel that bad for her. She's 65 and will become a billionaire in her own right, meaning she can build whatever retirement for herself she can imagine. Their kids are in their 30s. Being cheated on is theoretically embarrassing, but 100% of people who have an opinion about it would be sympathetic to her (I mean, they'd see this as his failing and not her fault). Contrast that with how people will see Jensen ("stupid, reckless, betrayer of his family") and how people may see the women he cheated with (people may assume they were gold-diggers who knew exactly what they were doing).

I guess what I'm saying is, I'd be happy to be publicly cucked in exchange for at least a billion dollars.

I think that's taking it too lightly, it's not all about money. They had a life together, losing that stability at any age can be devastating, and lonely.
reply
If this is correct, what was his motivation? I fail to see what he could have gained from it, other than a few extra billion in revenue, which they likely would have made otherwise anyway.

You don't become a billionaire by leaving money on the table. Achieving this kind of wealth is proof that you will never be satisfied, the reasonable people took their exit a while ago and are enjoying themselves peacefully. You most likely already took shortcuts and illegal actions to get there, so why not continue in that direction?

The phrase is “bury the lede”, not “bury the lead”: I just learned it recently, too.

Trump has made a lot of money from NVIDIA stock, and he's very good friends with Jensen. Especially after he approved the Export Deals. Jensen will be fine after he's out of NVIDIA.

A billionaire being fired is not that much of a big deal. There’s nothing in the world that’ll make them worry about what will be their next business jet.

As for him being good friends with Trump, it doesn’t say much. Epstein was one of his besties and he’s still dead.

I think money’s not really the game for these guys, at least not for its own sake, it’s being able to bend the course of the world. People who don’t have enough usually seem to think it’s about consumption and wonder how they can be so greedy, but you can only consume so much, and that’s generally impossible to see in the rear view mirror for this group.

Trump famously banned Epstein from his golf course and worked with the FBI during his first arrest. They famously hated each other, and were not friends

Well, they had a spat in 2000 because Epstein was poaching Trump's staff but he remained a member until 2007 (or possibly longer, depending on who you believe.)

> They famously hated each other

In 2002, Trump said "I've known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with." I don't know, it doesn't sound very "hatey" to me.

In 2003, he sent his birthday message of "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday – and may every day be another wonderful secret." Still not getting much "hate" from this relationship.

I'll give you, maybe, from 2007 onwards they fell out of friendship but even then it's not clear what actually went on.

Maybe once we get a fuller release of the Epstein Files we'll know more.

... allegedly for poaching the "talent"

Before that they seem very much to have been friends.
