He is a recognized computer programmer and electronics engineer also known under the nickname Woz, who together with Ronald Wayne and Steve Jobs created Apple Inc. Steve is the one who significantly contributed to microcomputer revolution by designing Apple I and Apple II computers.

So how rich is Steve Wozniak? The person who successfully developed, designed and sold the lines of the first personal computer must be rich. It has been estimated that the overall amount of Steve Wozniak’s net worth is as high as $100 million. His income include a $120,000 annual stipend which he has received since 1987, which was agreed after he gave up his full time employment in Apple Inc.

Steve was into electronics from early childhood. He studied at University of California, Berkeley for a year but dropped out with the view of pursuing a career working on the new electronic devices. Woz worked for the multinational information technology company Hewlett-Packard. Then he was introduced to Steve Jobs, who invited Woz to work on the new personal computer Apple, and Woz agreed. Both formed a perfect team in which Steve Wozniak was responsible for the invention, engineering and designing, and Jobs for the marketing. Working in a garage they managed to create a computer which they called Apple I, and founded the company Apple Inc. Business was almost immediately very successful; they quickly became one of the best, and eventually largest computer companies in the world. His net worth rocketed.

However, Wozniak felt that he wanted to work mainly on engineering, and all those associated management issues were not for him. After several attempts to stay in the company, he left it after 12 years, but despite this fact, the company still increases his net worth every year as long as he receives the particular amount of money as a stipend. More, he is still a shareholder of the company.

In addition to this, he founded a universal remote control company called CL9, and the company for wireless GPS technology called Wheels of Zeus. He increased his wealth and popularity by publishing his autobiography “iWoz: From Computer Geek to Cult Icon: How I Invented the Personal Computer, Co-Founded Apple, and Had Fun Doing It” (2006) co-written with Gina Smith.
