Steve Jobs is widely regarded as a pioneer in the tech industry, revolutionizing the way we interact with technology through innovations like the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. His visionary leadership at Apple made him incredibly wealthy, but in a 1996 PBS documentary, he stated that wealth was not something he particularly valued. “I was worth about over $1 million when I was 23, and over $10 million when I was 24, and over $100 million when I was 25, and it wasn’t that important,” he said.
Jobs passed away in 2011 at the age of 56 after a battle with cancer, leaving behind a lasting legacy.

At the time of his death in 2011, Jobs had an estimated net worth of $7 billion, according to Forbes.
Jobs co-founded Apple in 1976, introduced the iPhone in 2007, and held major stakes in Pixar and The Walt Disney Company.
At the time of his death, most of his wealth still came from Disney, due to its acquisition of Pixar in 2006. As the largest individual shareholder, he owned approximately $4.47 billion in Disney stock.
Jobs was married to Laurene Powell Jobs for 20 years.
