If Huang Renxun divorces his wife, can he share 2.4 trillion? Lawyer reveals the key: it’s not just about dividing the net worth in half

NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang was involved in an affair involving a suspected Chinese female spy. Huang admitted the extramarital affair and apologized to his wife of 41 years, Lori Mills Huang, and their children. After the incident broke out, Lori Mills Huang has yet to publicly respond. The outside world is concerned about whether their marriage will eventually turn into a divorce, and how much property Lori may get has become a hot topic among the outside world.

Lawyer Liu Weiting posted on Threads that according to California law, as long as the net property of the couple is jointly owned, in principle, one person still has half of it. Therefore, it is estimated that if Luo Li divorces Huang Renxun, she may be able to share 2.4 trillion yuan. This is calculated by directly dividing Huang Renxun's net worth of approximately NT$4.96 trillion by two.

However, Liu Weiting said that in the end, it does not mean that Luo Li will definitely get the same amount of money legally. "There is a big premise that all these net worths belong to the joint net property of the husband and wife that can be divided."

He analyzed that the two were married before Huida was founded in 1993. Therefore, what really needs to be seen is how much of the Huida shares acquired by Huang Renxun after his marriage are jointly owned by the couple. As long as it is recognized as joint property, even if the stock is registered in Huang Renxun's name, the price rise or fall will be reflected in the allocated value. As for which shares can be divided, it depends on the source of acquisition, how the trust is arranged, and whether the couple has other agreements.

As for whether Loli can seek compensation from Huang Renxun, Liu Weiting revealed that because the legal system in California is different from that of Taiwan, there is no "violation of spousal rights" common in Taiwan's practice. I am afraid that she cannot claim moral compensation from Huang Renxun or a third party due to an affair. "In principle, it is not possible in California based on an affair alone."

But if one party gives the joint property to a third party without authorization, the other party can claim rights against that property. "At this time, what the court needs to find out is where the money came from and how it was transferred."
