The phrase "Jensen Huang responds to wearing a leather jacket on a hot day" became a trending topic on Weibo. Many Beijing residents commented that they could only endure the current heat in a leather jacket for three minutes.
According to GQ magazine, people have been curious about Huang's year-round commitment to leather jackets, regardless of the weather. Since 2002, he has consistently appeared in public wearing them, and the jacket has become his signature look, much like Steve Jobs' black turtleneck.

The CEO has stated that the "man in leather" style wasn't his idea, but his wife and daughter's. He enjoys it because it simplifies his wardrobe decisions.
The tech billionaire's leather jacket collection includes numerous luxury designs. In January, he appeared in a new Tom Ford jacket costing 8,900 USD. At the Computex 2025 exhibition in Taiwan in May, he sported an 8,700 USD Dolce & Gabbana jacket.
62-year-old Jensen Huang founded Nvidia in 1993. The company's initial focus was on graphics processing and gaming, but its processing power has since been leveraged in various fields, including AI.
Since the generative AI boom in 2022, demand for Nvidia's chips has surged, propelling the company's value over 3,500 billion USD and placing it in constant competition with Apple for the title of the world's most valuable company. On 9/7, Nvidia became the first company globally to reach a market value of 4,000 billion USD.
