All About Steve Jobs

Steven Paul Jobs was an American inventor, designer and entrepreneur who was the co-founder, CEO and president of Apple Computer. Apple's revolutionary products, which include the iPod, iPhone and iPad, are now considered to dictate the evolution of modern technology. Born in 1955, two graduate students from the University of Wisconsin gave him up for adoption. Jobs was smart but aimless, dropped out of college and experimented with different activities before co-founding Apple with Steve Wozniak in 1976. Jobs left the company in 1985 to launch from Pixar Animation Studios, then returned to Apple more than a decade later. Jobs died in 2011 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.

Net worth

In 2011, Forbes estimated that the Steve Jobs' net worth was around $ 6.5 billion to $ 7 billion for its sale of Pixar to the Walt Disney Company in 2006. However, Jobs had not sold his stock of Apple in 1985, when he left the company. If he would have founded and managed for more than a decade, his net worth would have been $ 36 billion.
