What does 20-year-old Eve Jobs look like?

Eve Jobs loves traveling, holidays, spends a lot of time with friends and loves horses.



The daughter of Steve Jobs decided to follow in the footsteps of her famous father - the girl is studying at Stanford - one of the most respected and rated universities in the US and in the world. educational institution located near Silicon Valley, where the headquarters is located Apple. Eve Jobs, according to her teachers, boasts excellent results in her studies and social life of the university.

Eve Jobs was born in 1998 in the family of the famous entrepreneur Steve Jobs and his only wife, Lauren Powell. Eve was youngest child Steve, before her, the couple had a son, Reed, and a daughter, Erin.


What do Steve Jobs kids do?

Reed, now 29, is studying cancer medicine, and Erin Jobs, 25, is a future architect. The choice of Reed is explained simply - it was cancer that took away the father from the children. Recall that Steve Jobs died in 2011 after an unsuccessful battle with a malignant tumor of the pancreas.

It is worth noting that Steve Jobs was never an exemplary father. He devoted very little time to his children, and especially to his daughters. By the way, more than once in an interview, the entrepreneur, laughing, said that it was the youngest daughter, thanks to her business acumen and ingenuity, who could lead Apple Corporation. Unless he becomes President of the United States.

Few people know, but Steve Jobs has another daughter. Lisa in 1978 gave birth to a young guy, his first love. The girl's mother was a hippie and had a lot of male friends, which made Steve doubt his paternity and abandon the newborn girl. Some time later, the relationship between father and daughter was confirmed by a DNA test.

Communicating with Lisa Jobs began only when the girl grew up. The lack of paternal attention in childhood was fully compensated - Steve paid a lot of attention to the girl and paid for her education. Lisa Brennan-Jobs became a successful television journalist. The name of the eldest daughter was named Apple Lisa - a personal computer created by Apple in the early 1980s.

Steve Jobs lived a life of discovery. He went down in history as a successful entrepreneur and a very smart person, and became a role model for millions of professionals around the world. Earlier we reported that they would put up for auction with a starting price of 20 thousand dollars.

Vanity Fair magazine published an excerpt from the memoirs of Lisa Brennan-Jobs, daughter of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. In it, a woman describes her relationship with her father. According to the writer, the entrepreneur did not want to recognize his child for a long time, and judging by her recollections, he was often too harsh with her.

Entrepreneur and co-founder of Apple Steve Jobs, who was known for his not the easiest character, did not make indulgences for his child. This is evidenced by an excerpt from the memoirs of Jobs' daughter, writer Lisa Brennan-Jobs. Her book, called Small Fry (translated from English - "Small Fish") will be released in September. Part of the work, already published by Vanity Fair, is dedicated to Lisa's relationship with her father, which was not the smoothest.

Lisa Brennan-Jobs

According to the American, Jobs did not want to admit for a long time that she was his daughter. Before Lisa was two years old, her mother Chris-Anne Brennan raised the girl herself.

My father didn't help. Mom found a place for me in a manger at a church headed by the minister's wife. For several months we lived in a room in a house that my mother found on the ad, it was intended for women who wanted to adopt a child. In 1980, the San Mateo District Attorney in California accused the father of non-payment of child support. But dad denied that I was his daughter, he swore that he was barren and my father was allegedly another man.

After a genetic test proved that Steve Jobs was Lisa's father, the Apple co-founder began seeing the child. This happened about once a month, says Lisa Brennan-Jobs.

Steve Jobs with Lisa

The relationship between Steve Jobs and his daughter was not very smooth. According to the writer, she once heard from her mother that her father always buys himself a new Porsche car after he scratches the old one. One day, Lisa, apparently a teenager, asked her father if she could take one of his scratched cars. And his answer discouraged the girl.

“Of course not,” he said in an irritated, angry tone. - You won't get anything. You understood? Nothing. Nothing at all". Did he only mean the car, or something more? I dont know. I was hurt by his tone, he wounded me in the heart.

Steve Jobs also did not admit for a long time that he named the personal computer Lisa, released in the early 1980s, in honor of his daughter. Every time Lisa asked if the car was named after her, he replied, “No. I'm sorry baby." The entrepreneur admitted this only years later, when they were visiting the musician Bono.

When Steve Jobs finally fell ill due to pancreatic cancer, Lisa visited him regularly. On one such occasion, she sprayed herself with a spray that smelled of roses. And here's what happened next:

When we hugged, I felt his vertebrae and ribs. He smelled of mold, sweat and medicine. "I'll be right back," I said. And then she started to leave.

- You smell like a toilet.

The woman writes that she and her father simply looked at their relationship differently. Lisa was a blip on Steve Jobs' remarkable rise, as if having a daughter didn't fit his success story.

My existence destroyed his runway. For me, it was the opposite: the closer I was to him, the less I felt shame, he was part of my world, thanks to him I moved towards the light.

Unfortunately, the story of Lisa Brennan-Jobs is not unique. One Twitter user even painted what phrases she really wanted to hear from relatives and friends, but never heard. And from them for real

On a farm in Oregon on May 17, 1978, when her mother Chrisanne Brennan and Steve Jobs were both 23 years old. Jobs was not present at the birth, and saw his daughter for the first time only a few days later. “This is not my child,” he told all the inhabitants of the farm, despite the fact that the newborn had dark hair and a noticeable nose, just like the founder.

Chrisanne and Steve chose the name for their daughter together, after which Jobs finally stopped helping the family. Lisa recalls that until she was two years old, her mother worked part-time as a cleaner and waitress, while the girl was in kindergarten at the church.

In 1980, Chrisanne Brennan decided to demand child support to raise her daughter and went to court.

In response, Steve Jobs refused to acknowledge paternity, swore that he was infertile, and even pointed to another person who allegedly was Lisa's real dad.

The girl had to do a DNA test, which showed the highest possible result at that time - 94.4%. The court ruled that Jobs would have to pay $385 a month in child support (he personally decided to increase the amount to $500), as well as cover medical expenses until the child is 18 years old.

The court decided to close the case on December 8, 1980. Just four days later, Apple shares hit the market, and the fortune increased to $ 200 million literally overnight.

When Lisa was three years old, Steve Jobs came to see her. When the girl asked who he was, the businessman replied: “I am your father. One of the most important people in your life."

childhood trauma

After the judgment in favor of the Brennans, Jobs began visiting Lisa and her mother once a month. As soon as the girl was seven years old, she began to notice huge holes in her father's jeans, which the millionaire did not pay attention to. Although Lisa Brennan-Jobs hardly spoke to her dad during his visits, she was secretly proud of him.

“I have a secret. My dad is Steve Jobs,” Lisa told one of her school friends, who responded with a legitimate question: “Who is this?”.

In response, Lisa talked about the fact that he is famous and is an inventor personal computer, which he named after her - Apple Lisa.

The girl did not even doubt that the computer was really named after her, but decided to clarify this fact with Jobs himself. “Listen, that computer, Lisa. Did you name him after me?" she asked one of the evenings they spent together. “No,” Steve Jobs replied sharply, “sorry, baby.”

Once they were driving together in a black Porsche convertible that Jobs was rumored to change frequently. Lisa asked if she could get the car when he got tired of it.

"It's out of the question," the businessman replied sullenly.

They reached the house, Jobs once again turned to his daughter and repeated: “You will not get anything. Understood? Nothing. You won't get anything."

Lisa Brennan-Jobs still doesn't know what it was about, a convertible or something more, but these words of her father hurt her to the core.

When Lisa was 27, Jobs invited her on a cruise with his wife, Lauren Powell-Jobs, and children from his second marriage. During their trip, they stayed at the villa of U2 leader Bono, who invited them to stay for dinner. During the meal, Bono asked if Jobs really named his first computer after his first daughter.

“Yes, that’s how it was,” Jobs replied after a moment’s hesitation.

In the last years of Steve Jobs's life, Lisa often came to his house. She recalls that during her visits she often stole small things - powder, toothpaste, pillowcases, ballet shoes - and took them out of the house. She could not explain in any way these bouts of kleptomania, which arose only in her father's mansion.

Jobs died on October 5, 2011 from pancreatic cancer when Lisa was 33 years old. He paid for her education at, where the girl received an education in the field of journalism. On the this moment she works by profession and publishes in major American magazines. Lisa Brennan-Jobs does not maintain accounts in in social networks and tries to avoid unnecessary attention to his person.

He was, to put it mildly, an unpleasant person. Numerous memories tell of his cruelty, rudeness and stinginess towards employees, business partners and even family members. But even against this background A new book Steve's daughter, Lisa Brennan-Jobs, under the name Small Fry ("Small fry") is really surprising.

In his autobiography, released on September 4, Jobs the father appears not just as a selfish person. No, take it higher - after reading this book, it's easy to come to the conclusion that the creator of the iPhone, iPad and Mac is just an enchanting beast.

We know that Jobs denied paternity for many years and did not begin paying child support until Steve was forced by the US authorities to take a DNA test in 1980 - and then only by court order. We also know that the Apple founder for a long time refused to admit the fact that he named the Lisa computer (the predecessor of the Macintosh) in honor of his daughter (officially, the abbreviation LISA stood for: Local Integrated Systems Architecture "local integrated systems architecture") - and could not lie only when, in the presence of Lisa, he was asked about this by the famous lead singer of the U2 group Bono.

But the Brennan-Jobs book adds many new touches to the portrait of "Steve Jobs - m ... k." He hardly saw her when Lisa was a small child (even after paternity was established), and later avoided her for a long time and refused to pay alimony. Although by that time Apple was already bringing him a lot of money, Lisa and her mother Chrisann lived in poverty, living on bread and water thanks to social benefits, mom's underpaid part-time jobs, and other people's kindness. And when he did have to pay alimony, Jobs arranged everything so that he could resolve the issues in court a few days before Apple went public and he himself became a multimillionaire.

Steve Jobs with daughter Lisa

When Jobs began to pay more attention to his daughter, Chrisanne quickly abandoned the idea of ​​leaving them alone. Why? One day, Steve came to visit then nine-year-old Lisa and began to ask her about her sexual tastes and preferences. It's nine years old...

Then, when the now-teenaged Brennan-Jobs moved in with her father, he forbade her from seeing Chrisann—the only person she was truly close to at the time—for six months. After moving in, the girl told Steve and her adoptive mother, Lauren Powell-Jobs, that she felt very lonely, and asked to come and wish her good night before bed. But instead of entering into her position and doing it - very simple! - a request, Lauren only said: "We are cold people."

Lisa Brennan-Jobs

One more thing! Once, when Jobs wanted to have sex with his wife and began to touch her breasts and thighs, while making a specific sigh, he demanded that Lisa stay in the room. Steve justified this by the need to strengthen relationships in the new family. Also, her father regularly did not give her pocket money, said that she would not receive a cent from his inheritance - and even refused to install a heater in her room.

The book with new details will be released in September.
In early September 2018, the memoirs of Lisa Brennan-Jobs, the 40-year-old daughter of Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who died of pancreatic cancer seven years ago, will be released, writes Business Insider.

According to her, Steve Jobs was a scary person and behaved like an asshole.

And perhaps this was exacerbated by the fact that his behavior was tolerated by his wife, colleagues and business partners.

Some of Jobs' co-workers recount instances where Steve lashed out at employees over minor issues and subsequently fired them.

Among the most famous examples are the following: Steve fired an employee who dared to enter the elevator with him at Apple headquarters; Steve fired an assistant who brought him the wrong brand of mineral water; at one of the interviews, Jobs did not hire a potential employee, calling him a virgin.

Father reluctantly.

Articles and books about Steve Jobs have already noted that Jobs initially denied that he was the father of Lisa Brennan-Jobs. Her mother, Chrisanne Brennan, had to live on welfare and work as a cleaner until a DNA test proved his paternity and the court forced him to pay child support.

An amount of $385 per month was determined, which was increased to $500. Payments were to be accrued until the age of 18. The court considered the case and on December 8, 1980, the process was closed (the father's lawyers insisted on this, in every possible way urging the trial).
And four days later, Apple entered the market valuable papers, and my father's fortune was estimated at $200 million.
He also denied for many years that the Apple Lisa computer, which was introduced before the Macintosh, was named after his daughter.

Lisa Brennan-Jobs' book adds new details about how badly her father behaved.

In her early childhood, they rarely saw each other, even after the recognition of his paternity.


time
“In high school, she moved in with her father and stepmother because her mother began financial difficulties and there were outbursts of violence. Jobs did not know how to behave with his daughter: he completely ignored her, then he tried to establish complete control over her life. In addition, he forbade her to see her mother, although she had previously been the main figure in her life.

"We are cold people."

The girl was lonely in her father's house, and she once asked her father and stepmother to wish her good night before going to bed. Rather than comply with such a simple request, Lisa's stepmother Lauren Powell-Jobs replied, "We are cold people."

According to Lisa, several times her father behaved indecently. For example, Jobs forced her to be present at the sex scene: he caressed his wife's breasts and thighs and moaned theatrically.

Lisa wanted to leave, but her father said that she should see this "family moment". She didn't see it as a sexual threat, but she felt uncomfortable. He repeatedly told her that she would "get nothing" from his wealth, that she smelled bad (in the end, Lisa still received the inheritance).

Jobs often changed cars, and only because he found a scratch on them.

One day the girl decided to ask:

“Can I take it when you don't need it anymore,” I asked as we drove up the winding road to his house after another drive. Take what?” asked the father. This car. Your Porsche, I was sure that during the trip we definitely scratched it. Definitely not,” my father said with such a sour expression that I immediately knew that I had made a mistake.”
When the girl began to spend a lot of time at school, as she studied in the opera club and ran for the role of class president, Jobs was very upset. "You're a fucking family member. You are never around. This will not work, and if you want to be part of the family, you must be on time, ”said the head of Apple.

At one point, family friends even took Lisa in and helped her pay for college."

These are just excerpts from the book, which goes on sale September 4th, so the full picture isn't there yet. And, of course, these are the memories of one person with all his emotional baggage and prejudices. Jobs' widow Lauren Powell-Jobs said in a statement that the book is "very different from our memories of those times." But it was she who allowed Jobs to be cruel to his own daughter.

Stern leader or effective asshole?

But in his book, Brennan-Jobs recalls these incidents, not to condemn Jobs, but to forgive him and move on.

This book debunks the image of a leader who was sometimes harsh to achieve his goals and reveals to the world a cruel man who succeeded because the people around him endured and agreed to this horror.

Yes, Jobs created thousands of jobs and helped create thousands more. He also made many people inside and outside the company very rich. Undoubtedly his role in the creation of some of the most remarkable products of the last 50 years - the iPhone, Mac, iPad, iPod and the original Apple computers.

Genius is the pinnacle of practical intuition. Jean Cocteau
Perhaps similar products could and would have been created without him. But there's no denying that he has played a leading role in shaping how billions of people interact with technology.

Of course, even these accomplishments are interspersed with less commendable ones, such as his tight control over Apple's outsourcing and tax avoidance efforts.

And that's not to mention his antics during his first time at Apple, such as how he tried to hook up the then CEO John Scully and refused to grant stock options to an early Apple employee.

Did his success in business outweigh the cruelty with which he treated others? It's hard to judge. But genius rarely goes hand in hand with kindness.
