Steve Jobs Ranked as 42nd Richest American With Net Worth of $6.1 Billion

Why do you assume that he doesn't give anonymously? Many do.

Because those here hate mr jobs because he is to rich and nobody knows how much he donates.

Who cares. Really, does his attitude make any difference? It's all about Apple products. Why should you care about anything other than Apple gear, and if you're an investor, about Apple's bottom line. SJ can be anything he wants for all I care. I just want newer and better Apple goodies each year. As long as he isn't breaking any laws I don't give a sweet damn about his attitude. And it matters even less whether he gives to any charities. Unless that somehow impacts the iOS user interface. I'm sure Nokia's former CEO gives to charity. I'll tell myself that the next time I'm using their ****** products. That makes it all better. LOL

Put it this way. At least he's not Bobby Kotick.

Here's how I see it: Bill Gates unleashed the horror of Windows on the public, making about $60bn in the process. Any money he donates is penitence. What is he going to buy with $60bn? He is buying himself a good name.

Steve Jobs is the person responsible for Macs, iPods, iPhones, iPads, and for Pixar. He gave the world MacOS X, Toy Story and The Incredibles. He has given plenty to the world, without donating any money.

What stupid pissing contest about who makes what amount of money.

Gets people riled up.

All I can say is , I don''t have any of it and it is none of my business to tell people what to do with their $$$.

People that don't like SJ claiming that he doesn't give to charity, he is arrogant etc.etc. don't know what he really does.

I prefer quiet donations and just giving without having to be cited or recognized as generous.

For the jealous types maybe this will help:

None of the people on the list will be able to take the money with them.
The last shirt usually has no pockets

What in the world does that have to do with the graph making 1.4B look like half of 6.1???

The most accurate post in this whacked out thread by 20 miles. Well stated great one.

Wow, thought he would be worth more than that.

But that's the point - Jobs doesn't need to earn a salary and he's doing Apple and Disney a favor by not. If he was any other board member, he'd be getting 8 digit bonuses yearly. Jobs has never come across as being about money, he's driven by innovation.

Jobs gave up needing and wanting money when he first became a billionaire.

And in terms of true wealth, Jobs is priceless because he's irreplaceable.

Bit narrow minded there...

I don't think so. How so? If you are going to insult someone please back it up.
