This year, the standout performer in the U.S. stock market has been none other than NVIDIA.
Following a surge in NVIDIA's market value by 1.9 trillion yuan in February, it gained another 1.1 trillion yuan in less than a month, propelling it to become the third-largest company in the world by market value, behind only Microsoft and Apple.
Netizens have been amazed at having underestimated NVIDIA's founder and CEO, Huang Renxun, while some believe this might be a market bubble.
Regardless, Huang Renxun is now a top-tier figure in the business world.
Recently, he returned to his alma mater, Stanford University, to give a speech, wearing his iconic black leather jacket, exuding a commanding presence.
Despite now being a billionaire worth 540 billion yuan, Huang Renxun is not shy about sharing his entrepreneurial struggles.
He revealed that his first job was washing dishes at a Denny's restaurant, and after founding NVIDIA, he faced a severe cash shortage and had to buy books to learn how to write a business plan.
These experiences highlight his perseverance and hard work.
In his speech, Huang Renxun also addressed the topic that most interests netizens—his black leather jacket.
He humorously stated that he only wears black leather jackets because he doesn't like clothes in other colors.
Interestingly, at another Stanford economic summit, when asked why he always wears the same leather jacket, Huang Renxun explained that he doesn't shop for clothes; his wife buys them for him.
He joked that wearing other clothes makes him uncomfortable, but not the ones his wife buys because "she's known me since I was 17."
The leather jacket he wore that day was from Dunhill, with a similar style priced at around 60,000 yuan.
The relationship between Huang Renxun and his wife, Lori, also caught people's attention.
He mentioned that his wife knows he likes leather jackets, so she only buys leather jackets for him, making the process time-efficient and effective.
Not only does his wife choose his clothes, but in an interview a year ago, Huang Renxun also mentioned that he only wears black to avoid spending time matching clothes.
This efficient dressing style is very common among business tycoons.
For example, Zuckerberg's wardrobe is almost entirely filled with gray T-shirts, and both Apple CEO Tim Cook and ByteDance CEO Liang Rubo also consistently buy clothes from specific brands.
Jeff Bezos' clothing style is also very simple and efficient, usually coordinating with his girlfriend Sanchez's style.
Whether on vacation or attending events, Bezos' outfits are always well-coordinated with Sanchez's, which saves time and maintains a sense of fashion.
Business leaders generally believe that simplifying clothing choices allows them to focus their energy on more important matters.
Designer Michael Kors once said that if you find an outfit that makes you feel comfortable and confident in any situation, then you've succeeded.
Obama also mentioned that he only wears navy blue or gray suits every day to avoid wasting time on clothing choices.
Huang Renxun's black leather jacket, black T-shirt, and black pants have been his consistent outfit for decades.
During his Stanford speech, he mentioned that his wardrobe is filled with the same T-shirts.
Even in hot weather, Huang Renxun insists on wearing leather jackets.
During a speech in Taipei, where the temperature exceeded 30 degrees Celsius, he still wore a leather jacket because he doesn't want to spend too much energy on clothing choices.
Business leaders are extremely busy, and simplifying clothing choices is a way to improve efficiency.
As Michael Kors said, most people's time is very valuable, and if you find an outfit that makes you feel comfortable and confident at any time, then you've succeeded.
Besides Huang Renxun, other business leaders have their own clothing philosophies.
Although Zuckerberg has recently started experimenting with various new styles, his wardrobe still contains many gray T-shirts.
Meta recently launched AI smart glasses, and Zuckerberg demonstrated the feature of AI matching his outfits on Instagram, indicating that his changes in clothing style are actually to promote new products.
Wearing the same type of clothing not only improves efficiency but also becomes part of a personal brand.
For instance, when people think of leather jackets, they think of "Leather Jacket Renxun," whose tough style matches the performance of his company's products.
Steve Jobs' iconic outfit also aligned with Apple's minimalist philosophy, becoming part of the brand.
The essence of tech leaders' dressing style lies in simplifying choices and improving efficiency.
Huang Renxun's dressing philosophy is not only time-saving and efficient but also leaves a strong impression.
His black leather jacket, black T-shirt, and black pants have become his signature look.
Behind the dressing styles of business leaders is the pursuit of efficiency and simplification of life.
