Alice Huang’s Early Connection to Nvidia CEO Sparks New Allegations
By Aastha Jha
Alice Huang, a former CCTV and Hunan TV reporter, was introduced to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang by her husband, corporate investor Kang Weigh, around a decade ago, according to a New York Post report citing The Information. Kang had business ties with Jensen in the 2010s while acquiring Chinese video‑game companies, a source familiar with the couple told The Information. Chinese media reports suggest that Kang and Alice used their association with Jensen to secure business opportunities over the years. Some social‑media posts claimed that Kang would flaunt his wife’s relationship with the Nvidia CEO to clients, while Alice herself regularly posted photographs with Jensen on her WeChat account. Her proximity to the Nvidia CEO was said to be a major factor in her business dealings in China.
Alice’s recent dealings with Jensen reportedly took place through Megaspeed, a Singapore‑based data‑centre company that conducted billions of dollars in business with Nvidia. Megaspeed has faced allegations of smuggling high‑end chips to China in violation of U.S. export restrictions, with around 50,000 chips reportedly unaccounted for during an audit. The company has denied wrongdoing and said it complies with all regulations.
Before joining Megaspeed, Alice was a senior executive and equity partner at Shanghai Hexi Investment. The firm and its leadership had previously faced regulatory action. In 2018, Kang’s company was fined $2.6 million, while he was personally fined $60,000 over disclosure violations and illegal trading linked to the takeover of Huiqiu Technology. In 2025, China’s securities regulator fined Hexi another $350,000 for failing to disclose an insider stake in an acquired company.
Alice, who had no experience in the artificial intelligence sector before 2023, when Megaspeed was established, reportedly had no prior AI experience. The reports surfaced after Jensen acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife of 40 years. Allegations that Alice was working as a Chinese spy have been denied by the Chinese embassy.
