> I recommend reading up on his 80/90's antics. All he cared about was money

Incorrect. Read the David Pogue Apple book. For example, after the iMac was released, the Apple board of directors offered Jobs a million shares and six million options if he switched from interim to permanent CEO. Jobs continued to refuse. “This is not about money. I have more money than I’ve ever wanted in my life.”

Most of Steve's wealth came from Pixar, which he ultimately sold to Disney, rather than from Apple.
