"Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me ... Going to bed at night, saying we've done something wonderful... that's what matters to me."

Would have been much more impressive if he'd proven that being rich while alive didn't matter to him.

Honestly, how many people care about how much is in their bank account after they die? Probably not very many.

Plenty chase riches while they're alive, however. And good old Steve was no exception.

If you run out of ideas, you start to help the world in the easiest way - by giving away your money.

Jobs hadn't run out of ideas though.

Is that supposed to be a jab at Bill Gates?

Not necessarily. Bill Gates didn't just start giving money away, he started spending it in a fairly controlled manner, trying to accomplish well defined goals.

Maybe Bill Gates ran out of ideas how to help using computers, though.
