Steve Jobs, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2011, became a great entrepreneur in the minds of many for his contributions to the founding of Apple and Pixar Animation.
After leaving, Jobs left behind his widow, Lauren Powell, and four children of different ages.
More than 10 years later, these children have grown up, have any of them inherited their father's talents and abilities, and how are Jobs's descendants doing now?
Recently, Jobs's youngest daughter, Eve, 22, announced that she was signed by DNA, a well-known American model agency, and is now taking the professional model route.
Eve was The shortest child that Jobs spent with, Eve was only 11 years old when Steve died, Eve was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a few years after Eve was born, and for a long time he was struggling with this incurable disease.
Today, though, Eve is the most "high-profile" and well-known of Jobs's four children, thanks to Eve's excellent riding skills and the new modeling career she has opened in recent years.
Like her mother, Eve graduated from the prestigious Stanford school, but Eve is the only child in the family who has shown a talent for riding horses since childhood, and in 2016, Eve's mother studied bill Gates and bought a large ranch for her daughter in Wellington, Florida, for $15 million, all so that her daughter could have her own horse farm for professional training.
Three years later, at just 19 years old, Eve excelled among equestrians, ranking fifth among the 1,000 best riders under the age of 25 in the United States.
Because of the horseback riding, Eve and Bill Gates' eldest daughter, jennifer, who is also a professional rider, also befriended.
But Eve has also admitted that focusing on horseback riding has also faced many troubles, such as balancing horseback riding, socializing with friends and school.
In the past few years, Eve has changed her focus of development, no longer fully engaged in horseback riding, she began to move closer to the path of many stars and second generations - dreaming of becoming a supermodel.
Last fall, Eve flew into Paris Fashion Week to catwalk for luxury brand Copeni's spring/summer runway.
This year's Paris Fashion Week Eve also appeared on LV's runway.
With the great influence of her father and the help of her mother's mediation, Eve got good development resources in the early stages of her career.
The DNA agency with which she recently signed a contract is also a veritable Star II model-making machine, signing Kea Gerber, the daughter of former top supermodel Cindy Crawford, the stepdaughter of current VICE President Harris, and The Madonna's daughter Lourdes Leon.
It seems that it should not be difficult for Eve to gain a foothold in the fashion industry, and the difficulty may be to break out of the world on her own (after all, the audience does not look at her parents on the way to becoming a top supermodel...)
Jobs, including Eve, has three daughters and a son, and the eldest daughter, Lisa, who usually writes for famous magazines, has started a family and lives with two children in her husband's past marriage.
The age gap between Lisa and Jobs's later children was wide, only 15 years younger than Jobs's later wife, Lauren, and only 23 years behind Jobs.
In the past, she was the child who appeared the most in jobs gossip news, all because of her special life.
Lisa was not Jobs's illegitimate child, but the result of Jobs's love affair with his high school sweetheart Christan Brennan when he was young.
And throughout Lisa's childhood, Jobs refused to recognize him, refused to provide any financial assistance, and even when the court collected DNA evidence to prove that Lisa was indeed Jobs's daughter, Jobs still rejected this fact...
Because of this absurd history, Lisa was not officially recognized by her father until she was 9 years old, and was accepted to live with her new home.
But Lisa wrote in her 2018 memoir that her life didn't get much better after living with her father, being "her younger sibling's free nanny," washing dishes every day (because Jobs refused to repair the kitchen dishwasher), sleeping in a room without heating (Jobs refusing to fix the broken heater in her room),
In worse episodes, Jobs seems to have some attachment and strange perception of "show love" with his wife in front of Lisa, lisa says that she often witnesses Jobs and Lauren making love in front of her...
But Lisa did not just criticize her deceased father in her memoirs, the main purpose of the memoirs was to tell the world that after all these experiences, she finally forgave her eccentric and indebted to her father's love. At the end of the book, Lisa also asks readers to be more considerate of Jobs, the "strange man".
Because of this memoir that exposes Jobs's family life and personality, Lisa has gained great gains and fame because in the past Jobs and his family have been too secretive about the family and Jobs's multi-faceted nature.
Lisa published a book about past knots and understandings, but because of the exposure of a lot of details of family life, Lisa and her stepmother's family did not have a good relationship after Jobs's death.
In response to some of the specific scenes mentioned in Lisa's book about Jobs's "vitriol" to her, Lauren made a resolute denial and criticism, "I don't know whose memories of the two sides have a serious deviation, these plots have never been there!" Lauren also fought for Jobs's "fame," claiming that Lisa should know that her father loved her very much and cared about her.
Through Lisa's memoirs, the world learns a more complex and comprehensive Steve Jobs, although the price of this is that the 43-year-old Lisa seems to have completely lost contact with her stepmother's family.
Compared with the highly exposed young daughter Eve and the controversial eldest daughter Lisa, Jobs's other two children are relatively disappeared.
Erin, a 26-year-old architect, has very few public activities, not even on social media.
However, this "old third" seems to be one of Jobs's "most miserable" children, because she once said in a show that she did not get too much attention from Jobs in the process of growing up.
"Sometimes I wish I could get more attention from him, but I know the work he does is very important. I think that's really cool, so I adjust my mindset to make myself feel good and I don't need more attention. ”
This may also be one of the reasons why this daughter is so low-key today...
Jobs and Lauren's eldest son, the 30-year-old Reed, is now firmly in the Emerson Group, a for-profit company focused on education reform and immigration reform, which is firmly settled on the company founded by his mother.
But just going into business doesn't seem to satisfy Jobs's only son's wishes, and last month, there were media reports that Reed was considering running for the position of current House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who was about to retire.
"According to people he spoke to, Jobs, 30, loves politics and he has long told people that he is definitely interested in running for the future."
However, the news was quickly debunked as fake news by emerson group, "Reed has absolutely no plans to run for Congress, he is only focused on his work at Emerson." ”
But even if Reed had this idea, it wouldn't seem to be far from the title of "Jobs's only son"...
Several of Jobs's children have used their talents in various industries, and it is worth mentioning that part of the reason why they "worked hard" may come from Lauren's "cruel" practice of "leaving no legacy".
In 2020, Lauren said in an interview with the US media that both she and Jobs were not interested in leaving an inheritance for their children.
"I inherited my wealth from my husband, who cared about the accumulation of wealth,
I'm not interested in legacy wealth accumulation, my kids know... Steve wasn't interested. If I live long enough, that money will end with me. ”
When Jobs died in 2011, he left behind a huge fortune of about $10.5 billion, most of which was left to his wife Lauren.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to leaving nothing for the children born in wedlock, Jobs left his eldest daughter Lisa a separate inheritance that is said to be worth several million dollars.
It seems that Jobs still feels indebted to his eldest daughter in his heart...
