A Tom Ford leather jacket worn by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was auctioned by Sotheby's for a hammer price of $960,000, far exceeding its estimated value of $40,000 to $60,000. The jacket, authenticated via photomatching by PSA to a Foxconn Tech Day event in Taipei on October 18, 2023, and with a signature verified by James Spence Authentication, was sold to benefit the Edge Institute, a non-profit that funds fellowships and residencies for young builders. The auction was organized by Long Journey Ventures. The article notes that a similar new jacket without Huang's provenance costs around $9,000, attributing the high price to 'Jensanity' and the ongoing AI boom centered on Nvidia.
