Laurene Powell Jobs, Widow of Steve Jobs

Lauren Powell Jobs is a billionaire in her own right, with an estimated net worth of an astonishing amount of $30 billion. She is well-known to be the widow of Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple. It is interesting to learn though that most of her wealth did not come from the large stake she inherited from Steve. Rather, she has made large investments in another American Company: Walt Disney. The total shares that she controls in Disney are valued at more than $13.15 billion and with the continuous success of this company, there is no doubt that it will increase much more in the coming years.

Meanwhile, her stocks in Apple are roughly estimated to be worth around $6 billion. With her massive wealth, she continues to be involved with charities and non-profit organizations to help other people who are in need. In addition to her numerous successful business ventures, Laurene heads the Board of Directors at the national education as well, a non-profit organization, College Track.
