Steve Jobs-
Some facts
♦ Steve was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs. Although Steve’s
biological mom wanted her son to be adopted by college graduates and Paul and
Clara were not. They promised Steve would go to college when he grew up.
♦ Steve dropped out of college after one semester to save
his parent’s money.
♦ We all probably know that Steve Jobs began Apple
Computers, Inc., in 1976 with Steve Wozniak in his parents’ garage. But there
was a third member, Ronald Wayne. After two weeks Ronald left for a one time
payment of $800 for his share of Apple stock. Reportedly this stock would be
worth $22 billion today.
♦ In 1986, Steve bought The Graphics Group (later renamed
Pixar) from Lucasfilm’s graphics division for $10 million. Jobs almost went
broke with the giant purchase, after years of unsuccessfully trying to sell the
Pixar Image Computer. The company struck gold when it partnered with Disney to
produce some of the most memorable computer animated films, including “Toy
Story,” “Monsters,” “A Bug’s Life” and “Cars.”
♦ He was upset that Wozniak was employee number 1 and that
he was employee number 2. He protested until he became employee number 0.
