This reads like a shot at Jobs.

I saw the Woz at El Burro Restaurant in SJ once and my wife said: Oh it's the guy from dancing with the stars! 🤦

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 18 hours ago

I had no idea he was on that show. I bet if he heard your wife say that, he would have been super happy.

I had an Apple IIgs back in the day "signed" (printed) by Woz. I'm glad that dude is still living his best life.

This one wasn't signed, but I have fond memories playing "Thexder" on an Apple IIgs in my grandparent's basement growing up. You can guess where my username came from.

That game sure was hard to play with all 4 arrow keys in a line on that keyboard...

Steve Wozniak's net worth is not definitively known, but it is estimated to be around $100 million. He continues to receive a stipend from Apple for his role as an employee emeritus. In 2006, this stipend was estimated to be $120,000 per year

"I gave all my wealth away"...

Steve Wozniak’s net worth is not definitively known,

They literally TOLD YOU THEY DON'T KNOW and you're still listening to their estimates as if they're fact.

but it is estimated to be around $100 million.

estimated BY WHO? AND HOW?

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Business insider mentions the yearly $120000.

Market realist estimates it to be 100 mil net worth, but is substantially smaller that it once was, at an estimate of 10bil.

Listen - the point is not what he is worth. The point is that even though he has given away all his apple wealth, he is still a very rich man, who can afford to have this point of view.

[–] v_krishna@lemmy.ml 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I think that's his point. Past a certain level wealth makes no difference to your quality of life. So give it away, make the world better, and still have enough for more than 1 lifetime rather than horde and continue to amass like a cancer.

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 0 points 13 hours ago

Yeah. For me though, sayingig that you dont live for wealth and power, when you have enough to live 2 lifetimes comfortably, is kind of ironic.
