Twitter founder Jack Dorsey barely recognizable as photo of the tech billionaire goes viral

Many are struggling to recognize the social media innovator

Many have been left shocked after new photo of Twitter founder Jack Dorsey surfaces, with social media in agreement that the tech billionaire looks 'barely recognizable'.

Billionaires are often known for their distinctive and often trademark looks, from Steve Jobs' iconic turtleneck to Mark Zuckerberg's repetitive grey t-shirt and blue jeans - which he has now ditched, to his credit.

While he wasn't always the most present face on the internet, a new photo of Twitter founder Jack Dorsey has left many on social media shocked, as lots are in agreement that he looks nothing like he did before, and 'barely recognizable' from when he sold the platform to Elon Musk in 2022.

Appearing at the Nairobi Africa Bitcoin Conference this week, Dorsey was pictured in a rather disheveled t-shirt branded with Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto's trademark yellow smile.

While Dorsey has never shied away from a scruffy beard in recent years, his current facial hair stretches far beyond his chin, and is likely the cause behind many people's initial shock.

The 48-year-old is estimated to be worth around $5,600,000,000, but many seem to think that he doesn't exactly look the part - at least according to comments on Reddit.

"Sh** I look like that, but without the money," remarks one commenter, whereas another points out: "Now that's the look of a programmer who doesn't need a job."

The mantra of "do you want to be rich, or look rich" is repeated throughout the comments, but there is also a fair amount of praise for the former head of Twitter too.

Someone details that they were "about to sh** on this guy for being the 'I'm so cool I don't need this money' guy" but then points out that they discovered Dorsey's significant charitable donations, which include $1 billion to a children's health fund and another billion to COVID relief for Americans.

Another user reveals that, upon meeting Dorsey when travelling, he was "super friendly, respectful, and appeared the money had not gone to his head."

It goes to show that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover - although sometimes you might not even be able to recognize the book you're looking at in the first place.

He does still certainly look a lot different to the fresh-faced often suit wearing Jack Dorsey of the late 2000s and early 2010s though, so you can understand why some might struggle to pinpoint the billionaire.
