> Bizarrely

Why Bizarrely? The guy is probably worth millions if not tens of millions. He can probably live a lavish life off of 4% gains for the rest of his life and there is nothing wrong with that.

I would guess hundreds of millions, if not way more. I'm sure his salary was reported as being $30m base + $25m stock per year back in 2011.

I said bizarrely because in these situations the media & general public seem to always think that people like this can't survive without work. The guy is undoubtedly incredibly passionate about design and almost certainly a workaholic. The grandparent is talking about him going on design the future of automobiles - maybe, maybe not. It felt like I was suggesting something against the grain, which was why I prefaced it with "bizarrely".

The guy is worth north of 400 million.

He owns a (large) private jet. He's worth many tens to hundreds of millions, if not billions. Probably owns significant Apple stock plus average of at least mid six figure salary times decades.

try hundreds... or at least, he was worth ~130m in 2013.

Probably ~$450M, give or take.
