Steve Wozniak turns 75: "I Am the Happiest Person Ever"

Steve Wozniak on Slashdot:

I gave all my Apple wealth away because wealth and power are not what I live for. I have a lot of fun and happiness. I funded a lot of important museums and arts groups in San Jose, the city of my birth, and they named a street after me for being good. I now speak publicly and have risen to the top. I have no idea how much I have but after speaking for 20 years it might be $10M plus a couple of homes. I never look for any type of tax dodge. I earn money from my labor and pay something like 55% combined tax on it. I am the happiest person ever. Life to me was never about accomplishment, but about Happiness, which is Smiles minus Frowns. I developed these philosophies when I was 18-20 years old and I never sold out.

In a world full of people who want to become Jobs, be a Woz

Gabe Newell would disagree. He owns a fleet of yachts worth over $1Bn and practically lives on them. His daily routine? Get up, work, go scuba diving.
