How do you explain the success of Pixar, the company that Steve bought and eventually made him a billionaire?

This is like saying carl icahn is genius for making motorola mobile a success and making him a billionaire.
apple was a success because of woz. Jobs was good at milking it, that i will give him.
jobs wasted all his apple-money on next.
Pixar was more proof that even he never thought apple would be the hit it is today. i don't think they had a single mac there until 5yrs ago.

The facts don't align with that theory. Steve Jobs left Apple in 1985. Toy Story was released in 1995. There wasn't any plausible path for Steve to return to Apple until 1996.
