Maybe so.
But, he certainly made a great computer, had far reaching vision, and was contractually ripped off (willingly) by Microsoft who purchased a license for "point & click" (Windows) technology from Apple for only 50 Thousand Dollars (if memory serves). I don't know what Jobs' net worth was at its height, but it was never even remotely near that of Bill Gates' $50+ billion.
