Quote by Steve Jobs

Bottom line is, I didn't return to Apple to make a fortune. I've been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn't going to let it ruin my life. There's no way you could ever spend it all, and I don't view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.

Bottom line is, I didn't return to Apple to make a fortune.

Summary

In this quote, the speaker (presumably Steve Jobs) expresses that his motivation for returning to Apple was not driven by a desire for monetary gain. Having already amassed a significant fortune earlier in his life, he realized that excessive wealth does not guarantee happiness or intellectual validation. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of personal fulfillment and making a positive impact through his work. Jobs implies that pursuing wealth beyond what is necessary hinders rather than enhances one's life.
