Money doesn’t always (or maybe even usually) give a person purpose or satisfaction in life. We don’t know if she wanted to keep her job or was passionate about it or not, but if she did and she was, simply making lots of money doesn’t always fill that void. Money doesn’t buy happiness, but sometimes it pushes you into unhappiness just as effectively as lack of money does. Financial success is only one facet of feeling like you’re successful. Some people might be completely happy living a domestic life to a rich man, but not everyone, and we probably shouldn’t assume that it’s one way or the other for Jensen’s wife.

Apparently his wife, who he met in college, was quite a successful electrical engineer but gave it up to stay at home and raise their kids.
And he repays her servitude with being a sleazy pos.
He could have had the decency to divorce her if he wasn’t dedicated to their marriage anymore.
But obviously, he has no respect for the mother of his children. Or the woman that put her own career aside to help him succeed.
He did make them tens of billions of dollars. I think that from a purely financial standpoint, she probably did pretty well.
