Jumpin said: Steve Jobs never took credit away from anyone; in his letters to stockholders he would always say how great a team that Apple had, and that it was the best in the world. The only complaint I think can be had against him was his personal philanthropic record. Apple also made more millionaires than any other company ever has. |
That's the other misconception people had about Steve. They thought he was a greedy bastard who didn't care about the rest of the world. He actually did charity work similar to Bill Gates, but he was never open about it. He was a very private man and chose to keep those things private, just like a lot of other aspects of his life. Apple itself has also developed this secretive culture, which I personally don't have a problem with, but it does become bothersome for some investors.
