      • During his college days, Jobs collected Coca-Cola bottle caps to trade in for money.
      • He was so bright that he skipped a grade in school. When given the chance to skip another, his parents instead enrolled him in a more challenging school.
      • Jobs often ate Sunday meals at a Krishna temple while in college. He loved the food there, which also fueled his desire to visit India.
      • Known for his love of design, Jobs wore a $1,000 Porsche watch — and would sometimes gift it to anyone who admired it. Minutes later, he would be seen wearing the exact same model again.
      • For a time, he believed eating lots of apples would eliminate the need to shower. His friends and colleagues, however, quickly convinced him otherwise after complaints about his smell.
      • Jobs is the subject of more books and films than any other business leader in the world.
      • Despite being the CEO of Apple, he officially took just $1 per year as his salary.
      • Passionate about design, Jobs once displayed his BMW motorcycle inside his home like a work of art.
      • In a twist of fate, Jobs once ate at the restaurant owned by his biological father, Abdulfattah Jandaliz, and loved the food — neither of them realizing their true connection at the time. It was later revealed by Jobs’ biological sister, author Mona Simpson.
      • After being fired from Apple, Jobs adopted round glasses styled after Mahatma Gandhi, one of his great inspirations.
