Madison Huang, daughter of Nvidia founder Jensen Huang, made a rare public appearance in Beijing during the opening of the 2026 World Robot Conference in Yizhuang, where she visited a string of robotics companies including Dobot, Lunewheel Intelligence, UBTECH, Kepler Robotics and JD’s exhibition area. Huang currently serves as senior director of product and technical marketing for Nvidia’s physical AI platform, with responsibilities spanning Omniverse, Cosmos, Isaac and the humanoid robot foundation model GR00T. The visit came at a moment of rising attention on China’s robotics sector. The conference gathered nearly 400 companies, showcased more than 3,000 exhibits and featured over 300 new product launches. On the same day, Unitree was listed on Shanghai’s STAR Market, with its share price at one point jumping more than 600% in debut trading, while a broader group of robotics companies was described as moving ahead with IPO plans. The report also traces Huang’s background before Nvidia. She studied at the Culinary Institute of America, worked in restaurants in New York and San Francisco, trained in pastry in Paris, studied wine in London, and later worked at LVMH before entering Nvidia as an intern in 2020. Nvidia disclosures cited in the report said her total compensation for fiscal 2026 was about $1.232 million.

LVMH Chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault has issued a rare public letter titled "Merci" to answer a six-month investigative series by Le Monde. In the letter, Arnault says the paper focused too heavily on family power, internal rivalry and private life while giving too little weight to LVMH’s role as one of France’s biggest multinational companies. Arnault pushes back on descriptions of his family as "the last royal family in France" and rejects the idea that routine family dinners should be read as succession battles. He says his five children each run different maisons, build their own teams and make business decisions, rather than taking part in the kind of court-style intrigue portrayed in the reporting. He also addresses questions around political influence, exposure to the Chinese market and philanthropy. Arnault notes that he has met not only French presidents but also U.S. presidents, British prime ministers, German chancellors and the Emperor of Japan. On China, he argues that if exports to the country deserve moral scrutiny, the same standard should apply to Airbus and other French exporters. He also cites a €200 million donation to rebuild Notre-Dame de Paris, €50 million for a mathematics research center and the Louis Vuitton Foundation, which he says draws about 1.5 million visitors a year. Arnault closes by accusing Le Monde of applying a different tone to the Wertheimer family of Chanel than to his own family.
