Steve Jobs: The Man Who Got FIRED From the Company He Built

In 1985, the man who built Apple was forced out of his own company.

Nine years earlier, he'd started it in his parents' garage with his friend Steve Wozniak.

The Apple II made him a multimillionaire in his twenties — the boy genius of Silicon Valley.

Then came the Macintosh, and a CEO Jobs had personally recruited from Pepsi.

When sales stalled, the two went to war for control of the company.

The board sided with the CEO, and Jobs resigned the company he'd created.

Most people would have vanished. Instead he founded NeXT and bought a tiny studio called Pixar.

In 1995, Pixar released Toy Story — the first fully computer-animated film.

Apple, now failing, bought NeXT in 1996, and the man it had exiled walked back in.

He returned to build the iMac, iPod, and iPhone — making Apple the most valuable company on Earth.
