Are there photos of steve jobs family

Here on Overtime, we take a look at these Jobs family photos while Steve Kroft tells producer David Rubin about seeing these images and hearing the family stories: "I didn't know anything about the way he lived. And it speaks to the secrecy and the mysterious nature of this persona that Jobs managed to create-- the secrecy both about his business operations and especially the secrecy about his family life, private life.

In , Steve Jobs married Laurene Powell, then an investment banker. Jobs spoke about meeting and marrying Laurene with Isaacson, who told us: "They went out off and on for a year.

As usual, any relationship with Jobs can be somewhat tumultuous. But he said to me, 'It was tough, but you eventually realize you've met the person, you know, who you're right to live with. Laurene and Steve had three children: Reed, Eve, and Erin. Jobs' eldest child, Lisa, was born in to Jobs and then-girlfriend Chrisann Brennan.

Her essays are available at www. Jobs has never confirmed his relationship with the singer, but in another unauthorized biography, "iCon: Steve Jobs" by Jeffrey S. Young and William L. Simon, the authors suggested that Jobs would have married Baez, but her age meant it was unlikely the couple could have children.

Jobs reportedly spent years renovating the apartment in the building's north tower, but never moved in. He later sold it to U2 singer Bono. Sources: NYTimes.

The company's hardware didn't take off, but the software was so solid that Apple eventually bought NeXT in and invited Jobs back as an advisor. Sources: BusinessInsider. In spite of his successes with computers, Jobs' first major hit of the s was a movie. Jobs bought animation studio Pixar from George Lucas in In July , Jobs underwent surgery for pancreatic cancer. While he recuperated, Apple's sales and operations chief, Tim Cook, ran the company, while Pixar's President Ed Catmull oversaw operations there.

Jobs returned to work at Apple the following September. Jobs is shown at left delivering the keynote address at the Worldwide Developers Conference June 28, , in San Francisco. Sources: BBC. Jobs is famously known for his affection for The Beatles.

In fact, when asked about his business model by television news magazine "60 Minutes," he replied: "My model for business is The Beatles. They were four guys that kept each other's negative tendencies in check. They balanced each other. And the total was greater than the sum of the parts.

Great things in business are not done by one person, they are done by a team of people. In August , Bloomberg News mistakenly published a 2,word obituary announcing Jobs' death.

Isaacson writes: "Jobs developed a strong relationship with Reed, but with his daughters he was more distant. As he would with others, he would occasionally focus on them, but just as often would completely ignore them when he had other things on his mind. At one point Jobs marvelled to his wife at how well their kids were turning out, 'especially since we're not always there for them. Apart from his wife and children, Steve Jobs's inner family circle also included his biological sister Mona Simpson.

The daughter of Abdulfattah Jandali and Joanne Schieble, Mona was a brilliant writer whom Jobs discovered in , after tracking down his biological parents.

She's one of my best friends in the world. I call her and talk to her every couple of days. In her essay Driving Jane , Lisa recounted her stupefaction at seeing her personal history described in great detail in her aunt's book 6.

As for Jobs, he didn't read the book so as not to get mad at his sister. Jobs also connected late in life with his biological mother Joanne Simpson born Schieble , although they did not become very close, as he always considered Paul and Clara Jobs to be his true and only parents.

He never sought to contact Abdulfattah Jandali, his biological father, because of the way he had abandoned his mother and sister when they were young. However, he revealed to biographer Isaacson that the two had met by chance in the early s when Jobs frequented Jandali's restaurant in San Jose. This is not some sort of act". Steve Jobs spent the last twenty years of his life in a simple country house in Palo Alto. They wrote: "Laurene has planted a garden of wildflowers, herbs and vegetables all around.

The rooms are sparsely decorated, the only extravagances being Ansel Adams photographs. We dine as the Jobses always do: both are strict vegans, eating no meat products. Dinner is pasta with raw tomatoes, fresh raw corn from the garden, steamed cauliflower and a salad of raw shredded carrots. While the adults eat, their six-year-old son picks lemon verbena and other herbs in the garden for the after-dinner tea.

His reward is a tickle and being tucked into bed by Dad. Conversation is a mix of politics, Laurene's work setting up a mentor group for a nearby high school and tales of a presidential visit last summer when Bill Clinton rang up and invited himself to dinner so he could meet with Silicon Valley executives. The couple giggle over their search for cheap wine glasses to serve the President.

The menu was, naturally, vegan. Grabbing a couple of bottles of mineral water from the fridge, the two took off for a stroll around Palo Alto. Jobs was barefoot. Life at the Jobses did have some peculiarities: the strict vegan meals; the absence of TV for the kids, lest it stifle their creativity; and the occasional dinner with Bill Clinton or Rupert Murdoch.

But overall they had a very quiet, typical life similar to millions of couples in America. Besides his simplicity, Steve Jobs was also a great perfectionist in his personal choices, not only at work. His sister Mona explained at a memorial event held in his honor that "They once embarked on a kitchen remodel; it took years. They cooked on a hotplate in the garage. The Pixar building, under construction during the same period, finished in half the time. And that was it for the Palo Alto house.

The bathrooms stayed old. Most people speculate this is why his furnishing habits were so spare: it was because he wouldn't buy anything short of perfect — and perfect was a rare thing to buy. Jobs, who was also 'strictly business' at work, suffered no waste of time.

In one interview, he explained that it was why he wore the same thing everyday, his famous black mock turtleneck: so he didn't have to waste time picking what to wear every morning.

There are several explanations as to how he ended up wearing so many turtlenecks. In the biography Steve Jobs , Isaacson recalls Jobs explaining, "So I asked Issey [Miyake] to make me some of his black turtlenecks that I liked, and he made me like a hundred of them. I have enough to last for the rest of my life. He called the company and asked if they would make another one, and they refused.

So he said: 'Fine, how many do you have to make before I can buy them? Steve Jobs didn't vote when he was young, as he professed in an interview with Playboy After he left Apple in , he caressed the idea of a career in politics, which was suggested to him by his friend and fellow Los Altos Zen Center adept, California governor Jerry Brown. But his mentor PR man Regis McKenna explained to him it wouldn't be that easy: Steve Jobs was risking public exposure for his private life, including its darkest sides, such as abandoning his daughter or taking LSD in college.

Jobs gave up the idea and eventually founded NeXT. As he grew older, Jobs became a supporter of the Democratic Party.

He was friendly with President Clinton, whom he entertained at his house with Hillary while in office, and he invited Al Gore to join Apple's board in Although Steve didn't donate to the Democrats in his name, his wife Laurene contributed to each campaign to the fullest amount possible for an individual. However, Steve Jobs was not a liberal on every subject.

In , as his health declined severely, he still accepted to attend a dinner with President Obama on February He was blunt: "You're headed for a one-term presidency," he told the president, according to Steve Jobs He described how easy it was to build a factory in China, and said that it was almost impossible to do so these days in America, largely because of regulations and unnecessary costs.

Jobs also had firm beliefs regarding public education. He voiced his point of view on several occasion, including an extensive interview with Computerworld in 13 and a press conference in Texas in Steve thought the worst evil of public education were the 'corrupt' unions of teachers, which he denounced for blocking reform, and called "off-the-charts crazy". He advocated that "principals should be able to hire and fire teachers based on how good they were" and that "schools should be staying open until at least 6 p.

He also often called for the digitalization of notebooks, a dream he caressed toward the end of his life, and that Apple made true in January with iBooks Author and iTunes U. On a more spiritual note, Steve Jobs did not have any religion, although he was an adept of Zen Buddhism.

In the late s, he attended meditation sessions and primal scream therapies at the Los Altos Zen center.
