Mr. Jobs name does not, to the best of my knowledge, appear on any lists of persons who have donated $1 million or more to charitable organizations. He is not known for being a philanthropist, offering his excess wealth to those in greater need than he. If he does donate substantial amounts, he keeps it a secret, which would be quite uncharacteristic for wealthy persons to do. He is, and I do not mean to sound unkind here, best known for being a charismatic huckster. He does contribute to politicians, mostly Democrats, but does so under the name of his wife. He once considered the possibility of running for Governor of California, but did not do so.
