As Nvidia’s board of directors weighs the future of Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang following disclosures of multiple extramarital affairs, corporate governance scrutiny has also turned toward the roles and compensation of his immediate family members employed at the $4.1 trillion chipmaker.
According to Nvidia’s Fiscal 2026 proxy filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Huang’s two children—Madison Huang and Spencer Huang—both hold senior product roles at the company and earned more than $1 million each in total compensation during the last fiscal year.
Family Roles & FY26 Compensation Breakdown
Neither Madison nor Spencer Huang is classified as an executive officer, and Nvidia’s filings state that neither reports directly to their father, with compensation determined by standard benchmarks for comparable positions:
- Madison Huang ($1.23 Million): The 35-year-old elder daughter serves as Senior Director of Product and Technical Marketing for Nvidia’s Omniverse and physical AI platforms. She received approximately $1,232,000 in total compensation (including equity awards) in Fiscal 2026—up from under $165,000 in FY23.
- Spencer Huang ($1.32 Million): Working as a Product Manager in Nvidia’s robotics software division, Spencer received approximately $1,320,000 in total compensation for Fiscal 2026, reflecting a sharp rise from under $130,000 in FY23.
- Son-in-Law Nico Caprez: Madison’s husband, former Swiss Olympic alpine skier Nico Caprez, joined Nvidia in February 2024 as a corporate development manager and was promoted in January 2026 to Vice President of Global AI Infrastructure Growth. Because he is not classified as a direct family member under SEC disclosure rules, his compensation is not itemized in the proxy statement.
Unconventional Career Paths Before Joining Nvidia
Both of Jensen and Lori Huang’s children pursued non-traditional careers before entering the semiconductor and artificial intelligence sector:
- Madison Huang’s Culinary & Luxury Background: A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America (2012) and Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, Madison worked as a chef in New York, San Francisco, and Miami before spending four years in marketing strategy at luxury conglomerate LVMH. After earning an MBA from London Business School, she joined Nvidia as an intern in June 2020.
- Spencer Huang’s Hospitality & Tech Pivot: After earning a BA from Columbia College Chicago in 2012, Spencer studied Mandarin at National Taiwan University and co-founded R&D Cocktail Lab, a speakeasy bar in Taipei. He later studied human-computer interaction at MIT, completed an MBA at NYU Stern School of Business in 2022, and joined Nvidia’s Isaac Sim Cloud robotics team in July 2022.
- Board Crisis Context: The spotlight on the Huang family coincides with an emergency Nvidia board meeting to determine Jensen Huang’s future after he admitted to an affair with alleged Chinese intelligence asset Alice Huang and faced separate reports of a relationship with Nvidia VP Kimberly Powell.
