The widow of Apple's founder, Laurene Powell Jobs, does not intend to leave a legacy of $ 24 billion, acquired after the death of Steve Jobs, to her family, but is thinking about spending it on something else.
Laurene believes it is wrong to accumulate massive wealth in the hands of one family, as Rockefeller did in the nineteenth century, when a widow wants to help low-income people through charitable work, according to Business Insider.
“I’m not interested in legacy wealth buildings, and my children know that,” she added. “Steve wasn’t interested in that. If I live long enough, it ends with me.”
Laurene said in an interview with the New York Times.
“It’s not right for individuals to accumulate a massive amount of wealth that’s equivalent to millions and millions of other people combined,” she said. “There’s nothing fair about that.”
Laurene founded the Emerson Collective Charity, which invests in educational and cultural projects in 2004 and has given more to the association after her husband's death.
At the same time, the widow of the Apple founder has not joined the "The Giving Pledge", whose members plan to give their wealth to charities after death.
