Although Apple is different now, no company dares to underestimate its strength. It is undeniable that Apple is gradually declining, but after all, it has reached the market value of 1 trillion dollars. Although it was brilliant in the past, have you ever wondered why Jobs is not the richest man in the world? Even if Apple is so successful?
Everyone knows that the richest man in the world is not Steve Jobs, but Bezos, the founder of Amazon, or the Microsoft empire of Bill Gates. If Jobs is purely for wealth, then he may not even get into the wealth list. After all, this so-called ranking is only the product of relevant statistical agencies, and it is their product. It's not Jobs' product.
Where is the pleasure and sense of accomplishment of a big boss like Jobs? Is it the number on the account? Probably not, but to influence and appreciate the world. The pattern is large, and I hope to make changes through my own efforts and realize my self-worth, which cannot be measured by money.
Apple, the most profitable company, believes that this statement is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After all, Apple's gross profit margin is very high. Jobs founded Apple, but he didn't arrange the equity of the company. Not only did he not become the richest man in the world like Gates, but he was even fired from the company he founded. In fact, the failure to become the richest man is mainly due to the fact that Jobs' shares are not high, although Jobs' position in Apple is a spiritual leader, even now. But in the early years, Apple did not rise. Jobs only has about 65,438+00% of the shares, because his business is not good and he needs to invest and share the shares, and the investor is not a philanthropist.
Moreover, when Jobs was kicked out of Apple in the 1980s, he only owned 1 1.3% of the shares. What was the value at that time? In fact, it is about $654.38 billion. Do you think he kept it? Actually, it's not. In the end, he gave up these shares, leaving only one. what is the purpose? To attend the shareholders' meeting. If he didn't throw it all away, what is the market value now? Today, it should be worth more than $85 billion. If other income is included, it will easily exceed $654.38+000 billion. When Jobs was alive, only about 65,438+00% of his wealth came from Apple, and the remaining 90% came from Disney. In fact, the key to wealth lies in the proportion of shares, and the relationship with the founder is really small. Jobs has experienced many ups and downs in his life. He is a legend in both IT and business circles, and deserves to be called "Apple".
So, in the final analysis, in fact, Jobs' main wealth comes from Pixar. After all related acquisitions were completed, Jobs became Disney's largest individual shareholder. This is how his wealth of 654.38+0.5 billion came from. If Joe lived long enough and he was the CEO of Apple, according to his stock before his death, he should have more than $654.38+06 billion. In fact, Jobs is an entrepreneur who changes the world, and his way of thinking determines everything, not the so-called wealth. what do you think? Gates and Bezos didn't become the richest people in the first place. I believe that entrepreneurs will have this idea when starting a business, but they will never regard it as a so-called goal, otherwise it will be putting the cart before the horse.
