After emptying a stranger's wallet, NVIDIA's Jensen Huang found the owner and paid him back with profit

Computex 2026 is almost over, and besides the laundry list of incredible products that were announced at the show, there was one interaction with NVIDIA's CEO, Jensen Huang, that went viral, and it had nothing to do with new NVIDIA products.

HKEPC, a Hong Kong-based tech site, shared a video of Huang making his rounds through the Computex 2026 showroom floor, where he was signing and interacting with hundreds of industry attendees, fans, and media. However, questions arose online when Huang was given a wallet from a HKEPC editor to sign, but instead of signing the front or back, Huang opened the wallet to sign NTD (New Taiwanese Dollar) notes the editor had inside. In a series of X posts, the HKEPC editor explained that Huang emptied the wallet to sign NT$1,000 bills to give to showgirls working at the booth.

The editor wrote in a post, "First 2-3 bills? I was holding it together. By the 3rd? Started sweating. Then he dropped all 10 of them. I froze. 'Bro, at least leave me one for the taxi home...' 💀" The editor added that shortly after the wallet was emptied, Huang returned and paid him NTD$1,000 from his own wallet, and also signed a NTD$1,000 note, along with the wallet itself. The editor added that they started with NTD$7,700 in their wallet, and Huang returned NTD$10,000, leaving the editor with a NTD$2,300 profit.

The NVIDIA CEO can be seen jokingly pointing at the HKEPC editor and saying, "That man over there, he's so generous! You are such a good guy, we love you!"

Now, the HKEPC editor has written that they are receiving hundreds of direct messages from people wanting to buy the 1,000 NTD signed note, which they have declined to sell, writing, "This signature is absolutely priceless, how can you measure it with money?" But then added, "Unless, by '20 times," you mean in Hong Kong dollars."
