Apple co-founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak may have built a technology empire now worth some $1.4 trillion, but they didn’t regard money in the same way, Woz told former Apple evangelist Guy Kawasaki in a podcast interview published Wednesday. Woz said that while he never really cared about money, Jobs was determined to make it big. Woz today talked about the salary he still receives from Apple.
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak’s salary from Apple as an employee nets him around $50/week after savings and taxes. Woz revealed the snippet in a podcast interview with Guy Kawasaki…
Woz said he’s still an Apple employee, and is the only person who’s received a paycheck from the company each week since its start. Still, after money is taken out for savings, he says he gets no more than around $50 a week in his bank account after taxes.
“It’s small, but it’s out of loyalty, because what could I do that’s more important in my life?” he said. “Nobody’s going to fire me. And I really do have strong feelings always for Apple.”
MacDailyNews Take: We love that Woz is still an Apple employee. He’s been with Apple since Day One!
Now, what are these “savings” of which Woz speaks? Are these direct deposits into his saving account? Or to an Apple 401K? These “savings” could be much greater than $50/week. Or they could be less. No matter, as it only takes $1/year for Woz and his wife Janet to stay on the health plan (which is why Steve Jobs took that much in annual salary instead of $0).
Regardless, Woz can have as many Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse steaks as his colon will bear since his net worth is estimated at a cool $100 million.
$35 more than his input has been worth the last 20 years.
I think his contribution during the first 8 years was enough.
Without WOZ this page, your Mac & your Apple stocks would exist. Think Different.
Still more than the average Apple employee I guess since they have people living in vans in the parking lots…
The “savings” portion is probably an ungodly amount of money which is why he doesn’t mention it. LOL
I’ve always liked Woz. With all that wealth, he’s never been preoccupied with status or symbols of status. He’s not consumed by greed & just seems to enjoy life. Very rare traits at his wealth level.
Anybody that says it’s not about money is lying. Or they have tons of it, then they think its OK to say that. Horseshit.
Reading his book right now. I can recommend:
