In 1986, he acquired the computer graphics division of LucasFilms Ltd which was spun off as Pixar Animation Studios. [7] He remained its CEO and majority shareholder until its acquisition by the Walt Disney Company in 2006. [2] Jobs is currently the Walt Disney Company's largest individual shareholder and a member of its Board of Directors. He is considered a leading figure in both the computer and entertainment industries. Steve Jobs is listed as Fortune Magazine's Most Powerful Businessman of 2007, beating out 25 other business leaders.[8]"

He saved Apple computers from it's inevitable clone death. Before Jobs, Apple was being produced by companies like Power Computing, Umax, and Radius, who were all making cheap versions of the MAC and it was all just that, Cheap Versions.

When Steve Jobs came in, he removed all the rights to the other companies who were making Mac clones and rebuilt the company from the ground up....again. This guy has my complete respect. Had not been for him, Apple would have died.
