Although a fortune of almost 7 billion dollars would be a very big problem for a family that can't wait to share it, Steve Jobs would have decided already the way in which the wealth gathered throughout his life will be distributed. Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, claims that Steve Jobs could still have a very big impact on us through the way he will share his wealth. Of course, we are not talking about the money offered to his children or his wife, but about the money that will go to charity foundations or to research centers that could develop new technologies or a cure for the disease that at rapus the legendary co-founder of the company.
This is a man whose impact is equal to any global leader," he said. "He very much wanted to live and have a third act" beyond Apple's founding and its revival.
As for whether that impact may grow through the wealth he leaves behind, Mr. Schmidt said, "it is not for me to characterize" what will happen with Mr. Jobs's fortune. "All of that will unfold," he added. "I will say that he was a very thoughtful person, and he cared a lot about the world.
Steve Jobs did not publicly boast about the acts of charity he did, but Eric Schmidt characterizes him as a man who cared about the world he lives in and who could change a lot, even after death. It would not be excluded that Steve left money for various projects started during his life but unfinished until the day of his death and over the years we may hear about him on various occasions. It is more than certain that some of Apple's future products will bear the "brand" of the legendary Steve Jobs, but this could be just one of the areas in which Steve will make his mark.
