Shark Tank alum Kevin O’Leary recently made an appearance at the Oscars. At the event, he made sure to show off a unique accessory. However, fans may notice that the story seemed somewhat familiar. In addition, fans have been sharing their reactions to the accessory, and some have even got a few responses.
Kevin O’Leary Was At The Oscars To Support One Film In Particular
O’Leary is a Canadian businessman and television personality. He is known to many for co-founding the technology company, SoftKey Software Products.
On television, O’Leary is known for serving as one of the investor “sharks” on Shark Tank. He has also appeared on the Canadian edition of the show.
As a media personality, O’Leary is bound to make a few prominent appearances at big events. Recently, he could be seen on the red carpet at the Oscars wearing an unusual accessory: a basketball card worn as a necklace worth at least $19m, complete with a diamond-encrusted chain.
The card is described as a dual “Logoman” trading card. It comes complete with patches and autographs from two basketball stars, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.
O’Leary has a special reason to attend the Oscars. He was there to support Marty Supreme, in which he appears as a cocky businessman. The film, which marks O’Leary’s feature film debut, also stars Timothée Chalamet, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Odessa A’zion. In addition, the film had been nominated for nine awards at the event.
Fans Shared Their Reactions To The Expensive Piece
While showing off his accessory, O’Leary donned a black-and-silver suit. However, it was his unique necklace that might give some fans déjà vu. He previously wore it when appearing at the 32nd Actor Awards, formerly known as the SAG-AFTRA Awards.
As noted by The U.S. Express, O’Leary purchased the Jordan-Bryant card for $12.9 million in August 2025. However, it has since increased in value. The Shark Tank alum previously shared, “I’ve quietly been amassing a massive portfolio.”
The outlet also claimed that the card was the “second-most-expensive piece of sports memorabilia.” It was said to be second to a Babe Ruth jersey, which was sold for around $24 million in 2024.
Taking to social media, O’Leary showed off a few videos and images of his Oscars look. Thanks to this, fans have since shared their reactions to his look for the event. As one fan shared, “The jacket alone puts you in top tier!! The chain is epic.” Another wrote, “It’s absolutely gorgeous, Kevin. The jacket is so you.”
O’Leary even got into the conversation. When one fan noted, “The card doesn’t stand out as much [because] of the jacket,” the Shark Tank alum clapped back. He stated, “That’s the idea. “Less is more” when you are a #fashionista!”
