Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has been making headlines recently, but not for his business ventures or tech innovations. Instead, people are talking about his unusual sense of style. A recent photo of Dorsey in Kenya has sparked a lively discussion on social media, with many commenters marveling at his casual attire.
The billionaire, who is worth a staggering $5.7 billion, was pictured wearing a baseball cap, a long grey beard, and a t-shirt inspired by the iconic Nirvana smiley. The shirt, which costs a modest $40, has been reworked to pay homage to Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin.
Many people have expressed surprise at Dorsey’s simple sense of style, especially given his immense wealth. However, others have pointed out that this is not uncommon among billionaires. In fact, many wealthy individuals, including Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, have been known to dress casually, often favoring comfort over luxury.

This phenomenon has been dubbed “mogul style,” with many fashion experts noting that it’s becoming increasingly popular among tech entrepreneurs and billionaires. The idea is that when you’re wealthy and successful, you don’t need to dress to impress anyone. Instead, you can focus on comfort and practicality.
As one commenter pointed out, “If I were a billionaire, I would look like a hobo. Why dress yourself when you don’t have to work?” Another joked, “Now that’s the look of a programmer who doesn’t need a job.”
Dorsey’s sense of style may not be to everyone’s taste, but it’s certainly sparked an interesting conversation about the relationship between wealth and fashion. As one redditor noted, “Great example of ‘do you want to be rich, or look rich’?” Perhaps we can all learn from Dorsey’s approach to fashion and focus on what really matters – comfort, practicality, and a sense of personal style.
