Photos: Billionaires, CEOs Arriving at Sun Valley Tech, Media Summit

OpenAI chief Sam Altman arrived in Sun Valley wearing a simple navy blue T-shirt and chunky white sunglasses from Vuarnet.

The glasses, inspired by 1970s ski masks, retail for $410, according to the brand’s website.

Altman’s entry into Sun Valley comes shortly after he said last month that Meta was “crazy” for trying to poach top AI talent from OpenAI with $100 million signing bonuses.

Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, arrived in Sun Valley in his signature simple style, wearing a navy polo, square-rim black glasses, and a fitness tracker on his wrist.

He had a bag slung over his shoulder and waved to the cameras.

Former Meta COO Sheryl Sandberg arrived in Sun Valley hand in hand with her husband, Tom Bernthal, the former CEO of consulting agency Kelton Global.

The pair was dressed for comfort — Sandberg wore a cropped black cardigan with a black top under, paired with light-wash blue jeans, while Bernthal wore a collared cream sweater and gray slacks.

Sandberg stepped down from Meta in 2022. She is the founder of LeanIn.Org, a nonprofit organization for women.

Amazon chief executive Andy Jassy came to Sun Valley in a printed T-shirt with a blue button-down thrown over, paired with black sunglasses.

The Sun Valley retreat comes shortly after Jassy said AI will eliminate some jobs at Amazon, but create some roles in AI and robotics.

On the first day of the conference, Bob Iger, Disney’s CEO, wore a white polo shirt and black-tinted sunglasses to complete the look.

Microsoft’s CEO, Satya Nadella, wore a navy polo with contrast piping, an SV25-branded cap, and sleek frameless glasses for the occasion.

Yahoo’s CEO Jim Lanzone opted for a laid-back style at Sun Valley — dressed in a navy crewneck tee, gray utility pants, and black sunglasses hanging from his collar.

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi wore athleisure at Sun Valley: a fitted blue T-shirt, a navy SV-branded cap, and dark shades hanging from his collar.

He had a sweatshirt tied around his waist and a cup of coffee in his hand.

The CEO recently weighed in on an important question many Uber users have: when customers should tip.

“Tipping is entirely optional,” Khosrowshahi said in a June interview on CBS Sunday Morning. “But if you feel like you got a good ride, if the service quality was terrific, then you can tip through the app.”

Warner Bros. Discovery’s CEO, David Zaslav, flashed photojournalists a winning smile as he arrived at Sun Valley.

Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders recently rejected a 4% pay raise proposal for Zaslav, as the company battles declining sales and a falling stock price.
