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.
