The Great and Powerful Woz isn’t a billionaire. His Apple shares are worth around $150–200 million. So he’s still very rich, but not billionaire rich. Both he and Steve Jobs sold nearly all their Apple shares in the 1980s, when it was a much smaller company.

Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs founded the Apple, Inc. company. Together, the Silicon Valley legends forged an empire in a short period of time and they rewards were immense. When Jobs passed away in 2011, he was worth an estimated $10 billion. Wozniak had never quite achieved this amount, but there are no hard feelings about it. Had Wozniak embraced the same values about money as his partner, he would no doubt have been neck and neck with him in the financial arena. Wozniak’s wealth was made through Apple, and it’s no small wonder that a lot of money has been in his possession.

Prior to his partner’s passing, Wozniak was disappointed when Jobs refused to give workers in the company stock options, so he did something about it. Wozniak took out $10 million of his own and saw to it that they got what he thought was fair. He’s a philanthropist who has been generous with his own money and has given funding to a variety of worthy causes. Since 1990, this has been an important part of his life. Wozniak sold a lot of his stock in Apple, offering it to employees on the cheap. He’s spent a lot of his own fortune on things he values and at the end of the day, he’s not the richest man in the world, but he certainly is doing very well. Perhaps for Steve Wozniak, success comes from making the world a better place for everyone. here

He’s credited with the development of the CL9, which is the first universal remote control that is programmable. He’s also involved with the development of a wireless GPS technology company called Wheels of Zeuz, and a flash memory technology company called Fusion-io and a few other related tech organizations.

Steve Wozniak has been very open about his views on money and wealth. You may think that it’s easy to talk about it when you’re sitting on a hundred million, but when you stop to consider the fact that he could have made different decisions and be worth $8 billion, we’d say the man has an open podium to share his views. He believes that money has the power to corrupt people and to erode their values. Unlike Jobs, he refused to invest. here

He returned to Apple at some point but left again by 1985. Technically he never resigned or officially severed his relationship with Apple. To this day Woz is listed as a current employee of Apple and receives an annual stipend of $120,000 for representing the company at public events. here

Upon returning to California he attended De Anza College and then UC Berkeley. Through a friend named Bill Hernandez, Woz met Jobs. Hernandez and Jobs were a few grades behind Woz at Homestead High. Woz would later describe his introduction to Jobs through Hernandez as follows:
