Steve Wozniak’s contribution to the development of personal computing has been fundamental. His vision has left a lasting impact on the technology industry and continues to inspire entrepreneurs and technology enthusiasts around the world due to his ability to turn ideas into reality.
Steve Wozniak’s Fortune
Despite his enormous contributions to the technology industry, Wozniak’s fortune is not as high as that of other figures in the sector.
It is estimated to be around $10 million. This is because, over the years, he has donated most of his wealth to charitable causes.
In the 1980s, he gave away his Apple shares to fellow engineers, which today would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
In 2019, Wozniak confirmed that he donated “the vast majority” of his money to charity, primarily the education sector. Today, most of his income comes from fees for his participation in conferences.
“I don’t invest. I don’t do those things. I didn’t want to be around money, because it can corrupt your values,” he said in a 2018 interview.
Hospitalization in Mexico City
Wozniak was reportedly hospitalized in Mexico City due to a possible stroke, according to local media.
The co-founder of Apple was in the Mexican capital to participate in the World Business Forum 2023. So far no further details have been given about his health.
