He’s relevant because he’s the one most people liked, but Steve Jobs did all the keynotes (until he got too sick to, and then he died) so that’s who people see. The balding windbag in the black turtleneck and jeans who talks like he’s your friend but just wants to own you. Steve Wozniak was his friend (and remained so until he died AFAIK) who was encouraging him to make products for humans, not shareholders.
Wozniak doesn’t have to do a fucking thing. He never wanted to live like a king and he probably still lives in a modest house and drives a beater of a car. He’s also an Apple investor. He had enough shares to comfortably live on for life before he left Apple. He’s probably bought more. He probably has a lot of things that work very well, but he probably doesn’t have flashy things. I’m not saying he drives a 1988 Honda Accord, but he’s not driving a Bugatti or a Lamborghini to the grocery store. He’s you and I but with unlimited money (or at least more money than he’ll ever need). Maybe he’s got a vast Gundam collection or something like that, I dunno (something niche and expensive).
But yeah, look him up if you want. I’m just spitballing. I really don’t know how he lives. He’s just never seemed extravagant.

Woz is a legend.
