    Sold his stock (Score:4, Insightful)

    Smart man. Great engineer. Bad decision. Happens to all of us.

    Had I not sold some of my Apple stock when I did, I'd be worth
    some $50M right now.

    Difference between me and Woz? I'm not a smart man. I'm not a
    good engineer.

        Woz is worth over 100M. He's not sitting in the poor house.

            I gave all my Apple wealth away because wealth and power
            are not what I live for. I have a lot of fun and
            happiness. I funded a lot of important museums and arts
            groups in San Jose, the city of my birth, and they named
            a street after me for being good. I now speak publicly
            and have risen to the top. I have no idea how much I have
            but after speaking for 20 years it might be $10M plus a
            couple of homes. I never look for any type of tax dodge.
            I earn money from my labor and pay something like 55%
            combined tax on it. I am the happiest person ever. Life
            to me was never about accomplishment, but about
            Happiness, which is Smiles minus Frowns. I developed
            these philosophies when I was 18-20 years old and I never
            sold out.

                You have a great ethos toward life. Quick question
                though, do you still run a joke phone hotline
                anywhere?
