Jensen Huang, the owner of the biggest chip maker in the world, is always seen in uniform black outfit.
Most of the people think it is unusual for a man whose net worth is $194.9 billion USD to wear similar outfit almost every single time but Nvidia boss has a very surmising reason behind his outfit choice.
According to Fortune, Huang is nearly always seen sporting a black leather jacket but these are not cheap faux garments as many of the leather jackets in his wardrobe cost several thousand dollars.
Fashion experts confirmed to Fortune Huang often wears luxury menswear brand Tom Ford, where some jackets cost more than $10,000 a piece.
Fashion experts have had differing views on exactly which Tom Ford jacket he was wearing, but the possible styles range from roughly $5,000 to $7,000.
And in last year’s keynote address, Huang was believed to be wearing a lizard-embossed Tom Ford jacket that cost almost $9,000.
But that’s just a drop in the bucket for Huang, considering his net worth is $157 billion and Nvidia’s market cap is more than $4.5 trillion.
Reginald Ferguson, owner and founder of menswear fashion consultancy New York Fashion Geek, told Fortune, “It’s not his first rodeo. He wears a lot of Tom Ford. They’re all expensive. He’s found his lane and he’s sticking to it. I doubt he has a motorcycle outside. The black jackets go well with his gray hair.”
Why Jensen Huang wears a black leather jacket
Huang also admitted in an interview with HP his fashion choices did not come from his own inspiration.
“I’m happy that my wife and my daughter dress me,” Huang said, adding he doesn’t like to wear a watch, unlike some of his millionaire and billionaire peers, because he prefers to live in the moment.
A spokesperson for Huang previously told The New York Times Huang had been wearing black leather jackets “for at least 20 years.”
Although black leather jackets can be a wardrobe staple piece, Huang is not afraid to have a little fun with his fashion choices.
