...Or atleast Jobs's estimated value...which is now at 20Billion...up from 3-6billion. Wow, like wow, thats so much more then it was before. Gates is at what like 60ish?

Looks like that $1 salary has finally started to pay off for Stevie J.; either he's actually immortal and has been working since before the Earth was fused together in the solar forges of the heavens, or all those backdated stock options and Apple perks really came through. Either way, according to Barron's Mr. iStuff made a big jump up from his previous estimated net worth from between 3-6 billion, and is now hovering somewhere around the 20 billion mark. Considering how much stake he's got in Apple (which has been performing very well in the market as of late), and after the sale of Pixar that made him the single largest shareholder of Disney Corp., that 20 billion figure even seems kind of viable. While only Steve knows how much he's really worth, we'd like to invite him to take us out to dinner... any time Steve, seriously, we're available. And we won't even call you Mr. iStuff in person -- promise.

Edit...crap, looks liike engadget was wrong, he isn't worth 20B, he is worth that to Apple's market share. Still cool, but not as cool as Jobs being worth 20B.

Here is the link that engadget wrote about, and they wrote about it wrong

a good deal of that is because of Disney. and the continued growth of Apple helped i'm sure.
