Sotheby's auction house will put up for auction a black leather jacket belonging to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, according to Business Insider. The Tom Ford jacket bears the chipmaker CEO’s autograph and is estimated to be worth between $40,000 and $60,000.
The black leather jacket has long been Huang’s signature look. He wears it at all product launches, developer conferences, and during trips abroad. In terms of recognizability, this look is often compared to Steve Jobs’ black turtleneck. Wearing the jacket—which is set to go under the hammer—the Nvidia CEO spoke at Hon Hai’s flagship Tech Day event in Taipei on October 18, 2023.
The bidding period will begin on July 7, and the auction will conclude on July 17. Until then, the lot will be on display at Sotheby’s New York office. All proceeds will go to the nonprofit organization The Edge Institute, which will use the funds to finance scholarships, grants, and residencies for young entrepreneurs.
