Philanthropist and legendary founder Applu Steve Jobs He sadly passed away 9 years ago at the age of 56. However, he left behind a huge fortune worth billions of dollars, most of which went to his wife, Laurene Powell Jobs. Unlike the then iconic face of the Apple company, she does not appear in public much and rather keeps to herself, but in the past she has been responsible for quite interesting projects that have helped hundreds of thousands of people. In her latest interview, Laurene outlined how she plans to financemi to load her husband.

When the name is said Steve Jobs, the vast majority of people, even those outside the technology sphere, immediately think of a thoughtful visionary in a black turtleneck and jeans. In the case of his wife, Laurene Powell Jobs, a similar image is missing. Despite the fact that she is an influential philanthropist who founded the Emerson Collective Foundation in 2004 and has made a positive impact on the lives of hundreds of thousands and millions of people. In her work, she is mainly dedicated to children who cannot afford to study, immigrants, gifted athletes and supporting independent journalists. In an interview with New York The Times even hinted that Laurene is far from done and plans to spend up to $27.5 billion on charity. At the same time, she spoke negatively about the rich and powerful who accumulate wealth and leave the lower middle class to their fate.

"It is not fair that a handful of individuals accumulate such a huge amount of money and own so much property that even a few million lower class people combined cannot reach. From my point of view, it is simply unacceptable. I don't want to be one of them and join the ranks of similarly greedy individuals. Steve didn't see the point in this behavior either and never had a need to behave like this. If I live to see it, my goal is to eradicate this trend and become the last person to manage such a large fortune. I also do it for my children. At the same time, I would like to mention the famous slogan of my husband, which he was so fond of proclaiming. What Steve meant by his statement was that each of us can influence the environment around us and the structures that hold our society together. It is precisely these structures that should serve as solid foundations and support for all people, regardless of conditions. Each of us can live a fulfilling and unique life," Laurene expressed in the interview.

This is definitely an interesting initiative that we will definitely hear about in the future. By her wife's words, Lauren meant the motto "We're here to put a dent in the universe", loosely translated as "We're here to reach beyond the stars". In addition, Steve Jobs' wife also mentioned family members supporting Donald Trump, coming to terms with her father's death at a young age, and her work in educational institutions. We will see if he decides to stick to his plan and distribute his fortune honestly among the needy as he promises.
