Laurene Powell Jobs

Laurene Powell Jobs is a 51-year old billionaire with a total net worth of $20.4 billion. If her name rings a bell, that is because Laurene was married to the late Steve Jobs – co-founder of Apple Inc. Laurene is equally admirable with her socially innovative ideas like the Emerson Collective, which she founded to help under-resourced students and support social entrepreneurs and organizations in the field of immigration, social justice, and education.
