Jensen Huang's Signed Leather Jacket Sells for $960,000 at Sotheby's Auction

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's personally signed leather jacket fetched $960,000 at a Sotheby's auction, far exceeding pre-sale estimates of $40,000-$60,000. The jacket, worn by Huang during a 2023 Taiwan Foxconn event, sold after 65 bids among 45 collectors. Sotheby's attributed the high price to growing demand for AI-related collectibles, with modern art department head Bram Wachter calling the auction response 'far beyond expectations.' Proceeds will support the Edge Institute's innovation initiatives, including fellowships and grants. Huang's black Tom Ford jacket has long symbolized his brand, worn at product launches and events for nearly two decades. He humorously remarked about his 'startup attire' in 2016 and 2023, while Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg exchanged uniforms with Huang and later received the jacket, noting its perceived value.
