Net Worth

In 2011, Forbes estimated the majority of Steve Jobs’ net worth at around $6.5 billion to $7 billion from his sale of Pixar to the Walt Disney Company in 2006. However if Jobs had not sold his Apple shares in 1985, when he left the company he founded and helmed for over a decade, his net worth would have been a staggering $36 billion.

A number of books have also been written on Jobs" life and career, including an authorized 2011 general biography by Walter Isaacson. The book was critiqued for the depiction of its main subject by Apple"s chief executive , who succeeded Jobs. Karen Blumenthal also wrote a 2012 young adult biography, and Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli wrote 2015"s Becoming Steve Jobs .

Steve Jobs" Death

Steve Jobs died in Palo Alto on October 5, 2011, after battling pancreatic cancer for nearly a decade. He was 56 years old.

Last Words

In Mona Simpson’s eulogy for Steve Jobs, his sister said Steve Jobs looked at his sister Patty, kids and wife, then said his last words: “OH WOW. OH WOW. OH WOW.”

Wife and Children

Steve Jobs and Laurene Powell married on March 18, 1991. The pair met in the early 1990s at Stanford business school, where Powell was an MBA student. They lived together in Palo Alto, California, with their three children.

Daughter

Although he remained a private man who rarely disclosed information about his family, it is known that Jobs fathered a daughter, Lisa, with girlfriend Chrisann Brennan when he was 23. He denied paternity of his daughter in court documents, claiming he was sterile. Chrisann struggled financially for much of her life, and Jobs did not initiate a relationship with his daughter until she was seven years old. When she was a teenager, Lisa came to live with her father.

When and Where Was Steve Jobs Born?

Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, in San Francisco, California.

Young Steve Jobs

Joanne Schieble (later Joanne Simpson) and Abdulfattah "John" Jandali, two University of Wisconsin graduate students, gave up their unnamed son, Steve Jobs, for adoption. Jobs’ father, Jandali, was a Syrian political science professor, and his mother, Schieble, worked as a speech therapist. Shortly after Steve was placed for adoption, his biological parents married and had another child, Mona Simpson. It was not until Jobs was 27 that he was able to uncover information on his biological parents.

As an infant, Jobs was adopted by Clara and Paul Jobs and named Steven Paul Jobs. Clara worked as an accountant and Paul was a Coast Guard veteran and machinist. The family lived in Mountain View, California, within the area that would later become known as Silicon Valley. As a boy, Jobs and his father worked on electronics in the family garage. Paul showed his son how to take apart and reconstruct electronics, a hobby that instilled confidence, tenacity and mechanical prowess in young Jobs.

Education

While Jobs was always an intelligent and innovative thinker, his youth was riddled with frustrations over formal schooling. Jobs was a prankster in elementary school due to boredom, and his fourth-grade teacher needed to bribe him to study. Jobs tested so well, however, that administrators wanted to skip him ahead to high school — a proposal that his parents declined.

After high school, Jobs enrolled at Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Lacking direction, he dropped out of college after six months and spent the next 18 months dropping in on creative classes at the school. Jobs later recounted how one course in calligraphy developed his love of typography.

In 1974, Jobs took a position as a video game designer with Atari. Several months later he left the company to find spiritual enlightenment in India, traveling further and experimenting with psychedelic drugs.

Steve Wozniak

Back when Jobs was enrolled at Homestead High School, he was introduced to his future partner and co-founder of Apple Computer, Steve Wozniak, who was attending the University of California, Berkeley.

In a 2007 interview with PC World , Wozniak spoke about why he and Jobs clicked so well: "We both loved electronics and the way we used to hook up digital chips," Wozniak said. "Very few people, especially back then, had any idea what chips were, how they worked and what they could do. I had designed many computers, so I was way ahead of him in electronics and computer design, but we still had common interests. We both had pretty much sort of an independent attitude about things in the world.”

Apple Computer

In 1976, when Jobs was just 21, he and Steve Wozniak started Apple Computer in the Jobs’ family garage. They funded their entrepreneurial venture by Jobs selling his Volkswagen bus and Wozniak selling his beloved scientific calculator. Jobs and Wozniak are credited with revolutionizing the computer industry with Apple by democratizing the technology and making machines smaller, cheaper, intuitive and accessible to everyday consumers.

Wozniak conceived of a series of user-friendly personal computers, and — with Jobs in charge of marketing — Apple initially marketed the computers for $666.66 each. The Apple I earned the corporation around $774,000. Three years after the release of Apple"s second model, the Apple II, the company"s sales increased by 700 percent to $139 million.

In 1980, Apple Computer became a publicly traded company, with a market value of $1.2 billion by the end of its very first day of trading. Jobs looked to marketing expert of Pepsi-Cola to take over the role of CEO for Apple.

The next several products from Apple suffered significant design flaws, however, resulting in recalls and consumer disappointment. IBM suddenly surpassed Apple in sales, and Apple had to compete with an IBM/PC-dominated business world.

In 1984, Apple released the Macintosh, marketing the computer as a piece of a counterculture lifestyle: romantic, youthful, creative. But despite positive sales and performance superior to IBM"s PCs, the Macintosh was still not IBM-compatible. Sculley believed Jobs was hurting Apple, and the company"s executives began to phase him out. Not actually having had an official title with the company he co-founded, Jobs was pushed into a more marginalized position and thus left Apple in 1985.

Pixar

In 1986, Jobs purchased an animation company from , which later became Pixar Animation Studios. Believing in Pixar"s potential, Jobs initially invested $50 million of his own money in the company. The studio went on to produce wildly popular movies such as Toy Story , Finding Nemo and The Incredibles; Pixar"s films have collectively netted $4 billion. The studio merged with Walt Disney in 2006, making Steve Jobs Disney"s largest shareholder.

Стив Джобс биография на английском

Steven Paul Jobs was born on 24 February 1955 in San Francisco, California, to students Abdul Fattah Jandali and Joanne Carole Schieble who were unmarried at the time and gave him up for adoption. He was taken in by a working class couple, Paul and Clara Jobs, and grew up with them in Mountain View, California.

He attended Homestead High School in Cupertino California and went to Reed College in Portland Oregon in 1972 but dropped out after only one semester, staying on to «drop in» on courses that interested him.

He took a job with video game manufacturer Atari to raise enough money for a trip to India and returned from there a Buddhist.

Back in Cupertino he returned to Atari where his old friend Steve Wozniak was still working. Wozniak was building his own computer and in 1976 Jobs pre-sold 50 of the as-yet unmade computers to a local store and managed to buy the components on credit solely on the strength of the order, enabling them to build the Apple I without any funding at all.

The Apple II followed in 1977 and the company Apple Computer was formed shortly afterwards. The Apple II was credited with starting the personal computer boom, its popularity prompting IBM to hurriedly develop their own PC. By the time production of the Apple II ended in 1993 it had sold over 6 million units.

Inspired by a trip to Xerox’s Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), engineers from Apple began working on a commercial application for the graphical interface ideas they had seen there. The resulting machine, Lisa, was expensive and never achieved any level of commercial success, but in 1984 another Apple computer, using the same WIMP (Windows, Icons, Menus, Pointer) interface concept, was launched. An advert during the 1984 Super Bowl, directed by Ridley Scott introduced the Macintosh computer to the world (in fact, the advert had been shown on a local TV channel in Idaho on 31 December 1983 and in movie theaters during January 1984 before its famous «premiere» on 22 January during the Super Bowl).

In 1985 Jobs was fired from Apple and immediately founded another computer company, NeXT. Its machines were not a commercial success but some of the technology was later used by Apple when Jobs eventually returned there.

In the meantime, in 1986, Jobs bought The Computer Graphics Group from Lucasfilm. The group was responsible for making high-end computer graphics hardware but under its new name, Pixar, it began to produce innovative computer animations. Their first title under the Pixar name, Luxo Jr. (1986) won critical and popular acclaim and in 1991 Pixar signed an agreement with Disney, with whom it already had a relationship, to produce a series of feature films, beginning with «Toy Story» (1995).

In 1996 Apple bought NeXT and Jobs returned to Apple, becoming its CEO. With the help of British-born industrial designer Jonathan Ive, Jobs brought his own aesthetic philosophy back to the ailing company and began to turn its fortunes around with the release of the iMac in 1998. The company’s MP3 player, the iPod, followed in 2001, with the iPhone launching in 2007 and the iPad in 2010. The company’s software music player, iTunes, evolved into an online music (and eventually also movie and software application) store, helping to popularize the idea of «legally» downloading entertainment content.

Стив Джобс (24 февраля 1955 – 5 октября 2011) - американский предприниматель, получивший широкое признание в качестве пионера эры IT-технологий. Один из основателей, председатель совета директоров и CEO корпорацииApple. Один из основателей и CEO киностудии Pixar.

Стив Джобс и Стив Возняк

Еще с детства увлекался электроникой, собирая в гараже радиоприемники со своим приемным отцом. Будучи учеником школы Стив познакомился с парнем старше его на 5 лет по имени Стив Возняк и обрел лучшего друга. Вместе в недалеком будущем они создадут известную сейчас на весь мир компанию Apple.

Одной из первых работ молодых компаньонов были BlueBox или Голубая Коробочка. Изобретение позволяло звонить по телефону в любую точку Земли совершенно бесплатно. Коробка хорошо раскупалась, но занятие было не совсем законным. Именно тогда Джобс понял, что электроника может приносить не только удовольствие, но и деньги.

Пять лет спустя друзья и еще несколько вовлеченных в авантюру ребят основали компанию под названием Apple. В гараже родительского дома Стив Джобс со своей новоиспеченной командой собирали и в последствии продавали компьютеры. Так в обычном гараже дома Силиконовой Долины зарождалась революция в мире компьютерных технологий. В конце 70-х компанией Apple был создан первый коммерчески успешный персональный компьютер.

Стив с детства был неравнодушен к дизайну, он был перфекционист, стремился довести каждую деталь своих изобретений до идеала, хотя сам по себе был не опрятен. Чаще под руководством Джобса в компании ставился приоритет дизайнерской работы над инженерной. Не важно насколько мощный и современный компьютер, если он не красивый и не располагает к себе людей.

В 2000-х годах изобретатель Стив Джобс становится одним из основателей анимационной студии Pixar. Под его руководством студия выпускает известные фильмы, как «История Игрушек», «Пираты Карибского моря 2», «Корпорация монстров» и д.р. Forbes оценивал его чистые активы в размере 5,1 миллиарда долларов в 2009 году, что делает его 43-м в рейтинге самых богатых американцев.

В октябре 2003 года у Джобса был диагностирован рак поджелудочной железы. В середине 2004 года он объявил сотрудникам Apple о болезни. Прогноз развития этой формы рака, как правило, крайне неблагоприятен, однако у Джобса оказался очень редкий, поддающийся оперативному лечению тип заболевания, известный как нейроэндокринная опухоль островковой клетки. Джобс в течение девяти месяцев отказывался пройти операцию, так как не хотел, чтобы его тело вскрывали, о чём позже сожалел. Он пытался препятствовать болезни средствами нетрадиционной медицины: пробовал веганскую диету, иглоукалывание, траволечение, даже обращался к медиуму. В июле 2004 года Джобс согласился на операцию, в ходе которой опухоль была успешно удалена, но в то же время были выявлены метастазы в печени. Джобс объявил, что излечился от рака, а сам втайне начал проходить химиотерапию.

Постепенно состояние и внешний вид Джобса начали ухудшаться. 5 октября 2011 года в своём доме в Калифорнии Стив Джобс скончался из-за осложнений, которые привели к остановке дыхания. Он умер в окружении близких: жены, детей и сестры.

Steve Jobs (25.02.1955 - 05.10.2011) - American businessman and inventor.

Steve Jobs was born on 24 February 1955 in San Francisco. His full name was Steven Paul Jobs. Birth parents abandoned him and then Steve was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs. Some years later his adoptive parents affiliated a daughter, Patti.

Paul was a mechanical engineer and worked for a corporation which produced lasers. Steve’s stepmother was a bookkeeper. She taught him to read at an early age and Paul showed Steve elementary electronics. Steve himself always insisted that Paul and Clara were his parents.

In 1972 Steve Jobs graduated from high school in California and became a college student at Reed College in Portland. He also attended lectures at the HP Company and then began to work there with his schoolfellow Steve Wozniak.

In 1976 Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne established Apple. Some years later Steve Wozniak created a new personal computer which carried Apple forward. Its name was Apple II. Steve Jobs worked on design and sales of new device.

In 1980s Xerox PARC introduced its product, mouse-driven graphical user interface. Steve Jobs predicted the success of Xerox PARC’s invention and this was an incitement to development of the Apple Lisa. The creators were Ken Rothmuller and John Couch. In addition to that Jef Raskin invented Macintosh in one year.

There was a race for power in Apple in 1985. Steve Jobs lost it and left the company. He decided to found a new corporation which was called NeXT. This company produced technologies for organizational markets and higher-education.

In 1986 Steve Jobs got the computer graphics branch of Lucasfilm Ltd. Later it was reorganized into Pixar Animation Studios. Steve worked on famous animated cartoon ‘Toy Story’ as an executive producer. He was controlling shareholder and his percentage was 50.1%. In 2006 The Walt Disney Company acquired Pixar Animation Studios and Steve became the stock owner and a member of its Board of Directors.

In 1996 NeXT was included in Apple. Consequently Steve returned to work for Apple and became its co-founder. Afterwards the NeXTSTEP codebase was used for the Mac OS X. In 1996 Steve Jobs was chosen as an advisor of Apple and interim CEO in 1997. In 2000 he became Chief Executive Officer of Apple. He supervised elaboration of the iMac, iPad, iPod, iTunes, iPhone and other company’s products.

On March 18, 1991 Steve married Laurene Powell. Married couple had son and two daughters. Jobs also was in a relationship with painter Chris Ann Brennan. Lisa Brennan-Jobs, their daughter, was born in 1978. She was Steve’s first child.

In 2003 Steve’s illness was diagnosed as a rare form of pancreatic cancer. He was cured of it. But in 2009 Steve sustained a liver transplantation. His health became worse. In August 2011 Steve Jobs resigned as Chief Executive Officer but he remained Chairman of the Board till his dying day. On October 5, 2011 he died.

Биография

Стивен Джобс родился 24 февраля 1955 г. в городке Маунтин-Вью, штат Калифорния. Его детство и юность прошли там же, в приёмной семье Пола и Клары Джобс, которым был отдан на воспитание. В школе, увлекшись электроникой и тяготея к общению со старшими ребятами, Джобс знакомится со Стивом Возняком, своим будущим коллегой по компании Apple. Первая их совместная работа граничила с хулиганством: два Стива смастерили т. н. BlueBox (букв. «Синяя коробка») — устройство, позволявшее совершать бесплатные телефонные звонки на дальние расстояния. Впоследствии, согласно легенде, на основе всё той же схемы они построили первый совместный бизнес. Возняк изготовлял эти устройства во время своей учебы в Беркли, а Джобс, будучи учеником старших классов, занимался их продажей.
