Why is Steve Wozniak not a Billionaire? Or is he?

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.

great site you have there.. ;)

isn't wozniak the guy who 'had the idea', but thought it was worthless till shown otherwise?

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

bcuz Jobs fucked him over (like everyone else)

and to keep simplifying it, didn't Woz keep his HP job till he was 150% sure?

good example of how there is more to success than just being in the right place/right time... :2 cents:

knowing the right people?

Woz is a cool dude... :thumbsup

A net worth of $100m is not bad...

How did Jobs bend him over?

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.

Did you guys see the movie? It was good.

Is he still giving up US citizenship? don't blame him.

The reviews of the movie were terrible

This.

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.

He is cool indeed !

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.

At least Woz is still alive...

Jobs probably would be too if he wasn't such a damn hippie.

and hobby, did what he loved.

Yes indeed - he knew how to throw a party...

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... :thumbsup

Poor guy and his 100,000,000 dollars :(
