Apple's founder Steve Jobs passed away today at age 56.
Although I have not had the opportunity to patronize Apple's marvelous products such as the iPhone wireless handset, iPad tablet or iPod digital music player or MAC or Macintosh computers, I recognize Mr. Steve Job's immense and revolutionary contributions in bringing about transformative technology-based personalized connectivity through his magnificently consumer directed innovative ways.
As the Bloomberg aptly describes
Mr. Jobs' personal net worth according to the same Bloomberg article was at least $6.7 billion as of September 6, mostly from his Disney (Pixar) stake [$4.4 billion] and from Apple [$2.1 billion].
