According to news on July 3, the well-known auction house Sotheby's officially announced a new special auction. It will officially start bidding on a black leather jacket once worn by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang from July 7. The industry estimates that the final transaction price will fall in the range of US$40,000 to US$60,000. After reading this estimated price, many netizens who follow the trends in the technology circle said that the price is far higher than ordinary luxury goods.
According to information issued by the officially designated appraisal agency, the leather jacket itself is from the high-end customized product line of luxury brand Tom Ford.
Huang Renxun himself wore it when he went to Taipei to attend the Hon Hai Technology Day large-scale public event on October 18, 2023. Many viewers who have been paying attention to the trends in the technology industry for many years were still deeply impressed by the scene of him wearing this jacket to give a speech at that time.
The price of this item is much higher than that of a brand-new leather jacket of the same model. The core reason is that the jacket has Jen-Hsun Huang's signature in a prominent position on the jacket. It is an exclusive collection of top celebrities in the global technology circle. It has strong topical attributes and high collection value.
Sotheby's publicly stated that this auction was initiated by the venture capital institution Long Journey. This special lot will be publicly displayed in Sotheby's New York exhibition hall until July 16.
The entire online auction will officially end on July 17. All proceeds from the auction will not go to the sponsor or Huang himself, but will be fully allocated to exclusive charity projects to support the growth of young talents in more cutting-edge technology fields around the world.
