A 5-year-old boy from Taipei found a way to distinguish himself with an original Halloween costume and tried on the image of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
It didn’t take much effort to create the costume – just a black leather jacket, glasses, and models of graphics accelerators.
«He realizes that he is dressed like a very prominent person,» Kuo Yuyun, the boy’s mother, told the publication Business Insider.
She added that she was inspired by Huang’s image when she saw the Nvidia CEO on TV.
«He always wears classic black leather jackets when he visits the simplest markets in Taiwan. This contrasting look made a deep impression on me, so I asked my son to wear it this time».
It took a week to find the elements of the costume, and the finished image was eventually demonstrated at the Tianmu’s Halloween festival in Taipei. The boy’s photo has already gone viral online, and perhaps it will eventually come across Huang himself.
Huang, who was born in Taiwan, founded Nvidia in 1993. In recent years, the boom in artificial intelligence has turned the chipmaker into a $3.42 trillion tech giant, while Jensen himself made a fortune of $122 billion and took the 11th place in the ranking of the world’s richest people.
In his home country, Huang has long been greeted like a rock star, with lines of people queuing up to take a photo or get an autograph — last year, the Nvidia CEO even had to leave a signature on a woman’s breast. Jensen’s leather jacket, which he rarely parted with, has also become legendary in a way — during one of his meetings he even begged for it «famous fashion star» Mark Zuckerberg.
