Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s black leather jacket, described as part of his signature style, is sold at Sotheby’s in New York for nearly US$1 million. According to reports, the jacket—a Tom Ford piece—was photomatched to Huang’s 2023 appearance in Taipei. Sotheby’s sets an estimate of about $40,000 to $60,000, and multiple outlets report that the final hammer price reaches $960,000, which is reported as roughly 16 times the low end of the estimate. The news coverage also states that the proceeds are intended to support young tech builders, though the exact beneficiary or program details are not fully consistent across the brief accounts. The auction follows the jacket’s repeated public appearances by Huang, with outlets noting that he has worn similar leather jackets frequently. The sale highlights how a high-profile public figure’s personal items can attract major interest at major auction houses.
