Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, is famous for his black leather jackets. These are not just any jackets. They are high-end fashion pieces. Some cost thousands of dollars. Huang has been wearing these jackets for years. He even jokes about it. He once said he is known as the guy in the leather jacket who repeats things three times. This look is his trademark. It even made the cover of Time magazine in 2021.
Huang's jackets are often from the luxury brand Tom Ford. Experts say he wears different styles. Some cost around $5, 000 to $7, 000. Others, like a lizard-embossed jacket, cost nearly $9, 000. But for Huang, this is not a big deal. His net worth is $157 billion. Nvidia's market cap is over $4. 5 trillion.
Huang's fashion choices are not his own idea. He has said his wife and daughter dress him. He also doesn't wear watches. He prefers to live in the moment. A spokesperson said Huang has been wearing black leather jackets for at least 20 years.
Huang's style is not always the same. He has been seen in bolder designs. These include crocodile or lizard-embossed leather jackets. But in more conservative settings, he opts for understated styles from Dunhill.
Some people try to link the price of Huang's jackets to Nvidia's stock performance. They say when the jacket price goes down, so does the stock. But this is not proven. Nvidia declined to comment on this.
Tech executives often have signature looks. This helps them with decision fatigue. Wearing the same thing makes decision-making easier. It also becomes part of their personal brand. Other tech leaders, like Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg, have also had signature styles. Jobs wore black mocknecks. Zuckerberg used to wear black hoodies. Now, he has evolved his look.
Fashion choices of tech executives make a statement. They are no longer just nerds. They are trying to be stylish. It's a way for them to show their success and personality.
