Mark Zuckerberg may be worth more than Steve Jobs according to Forbes’s most recent list, but the Apple CEO is doing just fine, thank you very much. Jobs is number 43 on the list, valued at $6.1 billion–that’s a $1 billion increase over his value on last year’s list.
So, what to get for the technology CEO who has a few billion of everything? How about a snazzy new home? That’s the gift the executive is giving himself. Jobs is going to erect an $8.45 million home in Woodside, CA, a small, ultra-wealth community in San Mateo County in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Jobs bought the site back in 1984 (a big year for the executive for a number of reasons, of course). He actually purchased a 17,000 square foot historic mansion located on the site. The executive has been battling preservationists, attempting to tear down the home Daniel Jackling, a copper baron, in order to erect a fancy new mansion.
The preservationists threw in the towel last month, leaving Jobs to go forward with his plans.
