Apple's iconic co-founder, Steve Jobs, left behind a fortune valued at more than 50 billion dollars after his death in 2011, when he died from complications from pancreatic cancer.
However, a curious decision draws attention: his three children, fruits of his marriage to Laurene Powell Jobs, were not covered by his will.

The explanation for such an intriguing choice was given by Laurene Powell Jobs in an interview with the New York Times, putting an end to a doubt that hovered over Jobs' admirers.
According to her, her children, Reed Paul, Eve and Erin Sienna, were not included in the will because they had already received an upbringing and training that allowed them to prosper in their careers, so they did not need the inheritance of Father.

Laurene is also known for her philanthropic and generous actions. She disposed of part of her multimillion-dollar fortune through donations to various charitable organizations.
Currently, his assets are estimated at 12.8 billion dollars, equivalent to around 66 billion reais at current prices.
An additional curiosity in Steve Jobs' will is that the only two people present in the will were his wife Laurene and a woman called Lisa Brennan, daughter from a previous relationship of the tycoon.
Lisa grew up without paternal presence in his life and, in a way, was not recognized by him during his youth. Lisa's inclusion as heir may have been a posthumous way for Steve Jobs to try to compensate his daughter for her absence.
Although Steve Jobs' decision drew attention, it reflects his belief that his children were already well on their way in life and did not need the inheritance to ensure their success.
Furthermore, his widow Laurene Powell Jobs continued to promote philanthropy and dedicate part of Jobs' fortune to worthy causes, making the legacy of the “father of the iPhone” even greater.
