Why is Steve Wozniak not a Billionaire? Or is he?
http://www.celebritynetworth.com/ric...iak-net-worth/

In my mind he should be worth 10 Billion dollars, or more. He's the one who started the whole company. And he's only worth a fraction? The Apple stock would have pushed him into the billions I would think.

Woz was the back end creator and Jobs was the UX guy and salesman, to really simplify it.

Sites like that can be so hit or miss and just aggregate "data" from other sites. They spend more time on SEO than fact checking.

Woz is a billionaire, just not a billionaire many times over.

He has given away more than $100 million to charity.

For all the genuflecting (catholics know what that word means) talk about St. Steve of Jobs...he was an amoral fuckin' shark. He had no compunction about fucking people over, whether it was his business partners or the slave labor at foxconn.

Yeppers, the fucking started when jobs worked for atari. Woz made the game and Steve took most of the money. They were supposed to be 50-50 on it. When apple went public and Jobs fucked a bunch of employees who were with them from the very beginning. Woz gave them all some of his shares. Woz was brilliant but from the books I read he is portrayed with a child like innocence so it made him a mark.

Holy shit, I had no idea that Wozniak had anything to do with that. When I was a kid a friend had a VHS copy of the whole heavy metal day of the '83 US Festival, and watching that was largely what influenced my musical tastes growing up. I remember Ozzy Osbourne coming out in a witch doctor outfit, and Van Halen as the headliners. That was a damn good memory...
