Singapore Bars Alice Huang, Linked to Nvidia CEO, Over Megaspeed Probe

Singapore has barred Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman linked to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, from re-entering the country and issued her a stern warning over the Megaspeed investigation. Authorities say she gave inaccurate information to investigators.

Singapore's Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said the Singapore Police Force (SPF) assessed that Huang tried to mislead investigators to downplay her role in Megaspeed, a data centre company.

What the probe covers

The investigation concerns suspected false declarations involving the purchase of servers, along with related offences. The SPF and Singapore Customs opened separate investigations into Megaspeed and others in February 2025.

Police impounded Huang's passport in June 2025 so she would be available for questioning. By February 2026, investigators did not have enough evidence to show she had committed any offences tied to the possible inaccurate declarations under examination.

The SPF returned her passport on February 26, 2026. She left Singapore the same day.

The MHA said investigations into Megaspeed and six other individuals continue. None of the six has been in Singapore since the probe began in February 2025.

Why her name drew attention

Huang's name came into focus after reports of her alleged relationship with Jensen Huang, who has admitted to having an affair with her. Reports say she was introduced to him through her husband, corporate investor Kang Weigh, about a decade before the relationship surfaced.

Kang reportedly dealt with Jensen Huang during the 2010s while acquiring Chinese video game companies. Chinese media reports have suggested the couple used their link to the Nvidia chief to win business. Social media posts claimed Kang cited his wife's relationship with him when dealing with clients.

Alice Huang reportedly posted photographs with Jensen Huang on her WeChat account. Her closeness to him was allegedly a major factor in her business dealings in China.

Megaspeed and Nvidia

Her more recent dealings with Jensen Huang reportedly involved Megaspeed. The Singapore-based company did billions of dollars in business with Nvidia.

Megaspeed has faced allegations of smuggling high-end chips to China in violation of US export restrictions. Around 50,000 chips were reportedly unaccounted for during an audit.

The MHA has not said when the investigations into Megaspeed and the six individuals will conclude.
