  • Steve Jobs left the bulk of his fortune to his wife, Laurene Powell Jobs, when he died in 2011 – the pair have 3 children, and Steve has a daughter from a previous relationship, as well
  • His youngest daughter Eve is an equestrian who modelled in a Glossier ad with Sydney Sweeney and is signed with DNA Model Management, the same agency that represents Kaia Gerber and Emily Ratajkowski

Steve Jobs is arguably the most influential tech leader in the history of modern computing.

In 1976, after he dropped out of university, Jobs co-founded Apple with his high-school friend, Steve Wozniak, while they were still in their 20s, according to Steve Jobs, a biography by Walter Isaacson.

Jobs helped turn Apple from a makeshift computer manufacturer housed inside his parents’ garage to a global tech giant now worth more than US$2 trillion.

Jobs was also the father of four children. He had his oldest, Lisa Brennan-Jobs, with his high-school girlfriend, Chrisann Brennan. Later, he had Reed, Erin and Eve Jobs with his wife, Laurene Powell Jobs.

Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2003, and died eight years later at 56, ABC News reported, leaving most his fortune to Powell Jobs.

She does not plan to share her inheritance with her children. “I’m not interested in legacy wealth buildings,” she said in an interview with The New York Times. “Steve wasn’t interested in that,” she told the Times. “If I live long enough, it ends with me.”

While Jobs’ children have largely pursued careers outside tech, from modelling to writing, it’s likely their family name contributed to their success.
