The business suit is considered a symbol of high class today, but it was a working class dress before, and people wore fancy pants and ruffly shirts when they were high class. It was a certain politician who decided to wear the working man's suit that started the tradition.
It's an interesting thing that often the rich or powerful try to look like the common classes because while there's power in being set apart as special and high class, there's also power in being considered more down to earth and in it with the common man.
From this historical perspective, billionaires wearing common garb makes a lot of sense. They want you to think they're down there stuffing boxes themselves and not snorting coke in the penthouse corner office.
