The 'homeless' appearance of Jack Dorsey, co-founder and former CEO of Twitter, surprises internet users; discover his net worth.
"Multimillionaire in Flip-Flops"
Jack Dorsey, former CEO and co-founder of Block and Twitter, now known as X under Elon Musk's direction, visited Kenya to attend the Africa Bitcoin Conference 2024, which took place from December 9 to 11. In 2022, Dorsey's company Block Inc. had invested 245 million Kenyan shillings (approximately $2 million) in a local startup called Gridless, which focuses on bitcoin mining.
During his previous visit to Kenya, Dorsey stated that the Western world has a lot to learn from Nairobi and Africa as a whole. An enthusiastic advocate for cryptocurrencies, he appeared at the conference wearing a Satoshi Smiley t-shirt and Rhizal brand shoes, valued at $160, which feature a sole with a copper plug.
In Kenya, a country with 4.5 million cryptocurrency owners, ranking tenth worldwide, Dorsey's presence was notable. His appearance caused a stir on social media, where many users commented on his laid-back look, comparing him to homeless people in San Francisco and creating memes associating him with popular characters like Tyrion Lannister and Forrest Gump.
Dorsey's mix of resources and casual style generated various reactions. Some users expressed curiosity about why wealthy individuals do not dress better, while others took his appearance humorously, questioning whether there is a kind of secret dress code among tech moguls.
