Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang reveals the pick up line he used on his wife
Nov 25, 2024
Long before he was CEO of Nvidia, Jensen Huang was a teenager with a foolproof pickup line that won the heart of a fellow student, now his wife.
I was 16 when I went to college, and when I met my wife, I was 17, she was 19.
And so I was the youngest kid in school, in class, there were 250 students and 3 girls.
I was the only student that looked like a child, and they were all children.
So you learned how to be competitive at that time?
No, you had to learn how to, you know, have a good pickup line.
And so I walked up to her and I said to her,
I know I look like a child, and therefore I am certain that her first impression of me
is that I'm pretty smart. It's got to be that, otherwise, you know.
And so I knew that her first impression of me would be that I'm smart.
And so I walked up to her and I said, do you want to see my homework?
And then I made her a promise, I said, if you do homework with me every Sunday,
I promise you, you will get straight A's.
Okay? And as a result, I had a date every Sunday.
And I made her do homework all day. I was with her the whole day.
And then just to make sure that eventually she marries me,
I told her that by the time I'm 30, I just wanted you to know, I'm only 20 right now.
But by the time I'm 30, I'm going to be a CEO.
I had no idea what I was talking about. And then we got married.
And so that's all the advice I'm going to give all the entrepreneurs. That's it.
