“Click. Boom. Amazing!” - Steve Jobs
I know nothing about Steve Jobs--I don't own any Apple gadgets either .
I heard that he was powerful, had a brilliant mind, was a great man to his wife Laurene Powell and his 4 kids and wears the exact same color, style of clothes(jeans/black turtleneck long sleeves) every keynote.
Being a dropout didn't stop him from conquering the world and putting a ding in the universe!
The summary of Steve Jobs' Timeline :

“I was worth over $1,000,000 when I was 23, and over $10,000,000 when I was 24, and over $100,000,000 when I was 25, and it wasn’t that important because I never did it for the money.”-Steve Jobs
