Biography
Steve Wozniak net worth is estimated at $100 million, despite having co-founded Apple Inc. — one of the most valuable companies in history. Known as 'The Woz,' he designed the Apple I and Apple II computers, which launched the personal computing revolution in the 1970s. Unlike Steve Jobs, Wozniak sold most of his Apple shares early and was famously generous, giving away stock to early employees who weren't part of the original share distribution. After leaving Apple in 1985, he founded several other ventures and focused heavily on philanthropy and education.
