As of march 2010, Steve jobs owns

5.426 million shares of Apple valued at $1.2bn

138 million shares of Disney valued at 4.45bn

I was surprised to learn today that the majority of Steve jobs wealth comes from Disney although he is known the most for his work at Apple!

Yeah, I hadn't realized that it was tilted that far toward the Disney side either.

The way he tends to talk about Apple is that they want to make products that sell so that they'll get to "come to work the next day" and keep making more. Obviously there's some public positioning / PR going on there, but I think there's at least a kernel of truth, too.
