He also said that after he dies, the rest also goes to charity, instead of kids and family.

I knew that he did a lot, but stuff like the polio vaccine I didn't know.

I'm sure his family won't ever financially struggle in life.

"I will give the kids some money but not a meaningful percentage. Setting the number so that they need to work but they feel reasonably taken care of is hard to figure out."


Can't be that much if he intends for them to work (unless it's "work" for the foundation as a figure head or something).

After all contributing to charities is a big no-no when you're doing the devil's work. Twisted Evil

What he has donated he has done privately, but it's not a whole lot. After he took Apple back they dropped out of all charities until Bono's RED came along. That is a project where manufacturers make red products and (some of) the proceeds of that product go to charity. How much they did through that I'm not sure of, but other than that neither Apple nor Jobs are big on philanthropy Smile

In before "BUT HE DID IT SECRETLY" - sure, everything in his life he was completely extrovert about, except that part? Right Laughing

Edit: don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Jobs didn't do anything, because he probably did. He certainly didn't do anywhere near what Gates does and has done though, nor did he use his popularity to get attention for anything but Apple Smile

Rolling Eyes

One can contribute to the world without throwing your cash away to stupid things like sick or hungary children on some continent no one cares about. Rolling Eyes

Steve Jobs has contributed industrial design to the world in the form of iMacs and iPhones. He contributed taste to the world - in a BIG way! He contributed culture to the world with his products. He has contributed proportionally-spaced fonts (by bundling them in Mac after licensing them and/or copying from beautiful books)! Surprised

And of course, unlike any fame-seeking "philanthropists", he has done it secretly. Rolling Eyes

Anyone can just throw billions at some insignificants and smile for the camera. Rolling Eyes

Now it's all clear to me. It's now perfectly understandable why he was brought on a pedestal shortly after his death in the form of a terraneous God. A totally deserved action toward such a magnificent persona!
