Steve Jobs worked for $1 a year for (at least) most of his tenure with perks like a Gulfstream V. I'm sure that someone here knows the details without a specific search, but to me it gives context to how much Apple meant to him and his legacy.
BTW, almost all of Steve's wealth is from the sale of Pixar to Disney for stock, at the time some $7 Billion, and he and his family lived a relatively modest lifestyle for a billionaire.
I'm always surprised when people make quite despicable comments based on his first tenure at Apple, not accounting for his maturation at Next and Pixar, and certainly not at his second tenure at Apple.

Let's not sugar coat this. The $1 salary, while being paid in stocks and other perks is a classic move by wealthy executives who want to avoid paying income taxes. Capital gains tax is much less than income tax.
