Steve Jobs' death was supposed to be the government's biggest estate tax collection. Instead, it made his wife a billionaire overnight. Here's how Jobs planned for this satisfying outcome years before he passed: When Steve Jobs died on October 5, 2011, his net worth stood at $7 billion. The U.S. government was ready to collect billions in estate taxes. Under 2011 estate tax rules, only $5 million was exempt, and everything above that got taxed at 35%. The expected tax payment? $2.45 billion (that's more than many countries' entire budgets!) But Jobs had been planning for years ↓ Back in March 2009, over two years before his death, Jobs and his wife Laurene quietly transferred three California properties into two separate trusts. Then his attorneys moved the biggest assets: • 38.5 million Apple shares • 138 million Disney shares from the 2006 Pixar sale • Three California properties including his Palo Alto residence and the Woodside mansion he purchased in 1984 for $3.5 million All funneled into the Steven P. Jobs Trust. The strategy was elegant in its simplicity... Jobs exploited the unlimited marital deduction, a cornerstone of U.S. tax law that allows unlimited asset transfers to a surviving spouse without immediate estate tax. The only requirement? The spouse must be a U.S. citizen. Laurene qualified perfectly. When Jobs died, his simple "pourover" will directed all remaining assets into the private trust. No public probate. No court battles. No tax bill. The IRS collected exactly $0. Overnight, Laurene transformed from a successful venture capitalist into one of the world's wealthiest women, controlling over $10 billion in assets. But here's where it gets even smarter ↓ Because the assets passed through the trust at death, they received a "stepped-up basis" to fair market value. This means all the capital gains Apple stock accumulated over decades were erased for tax purposes. Laurene didn't stop there. After 2011, she deployed Grantor Retained Annuity Trusts (GRATs) to transfer roughly $500 million tax-free to their children, dodging another $200 million in gift and estate taxes. By 2025, her net worth hovers around $11.9 billion. The government's anticipated $2.45 billion windfall? Still $0. Jobs built revolutionary products throughout his career, and his estate plan was no different. Turns out, the best financial strategy is often about keeping what's already yours. — Thanks for reading! Enjoyed this post? Follow @BigBrainBizness for more content like this.

@mattworkman Agreed. The AI tag is relevant to art exhibits for authorship disclosure, and to digital content licensing marketplaces where buyers need to understand the rights situation. It makes no sense for game stores, where AI will be involved in nearly all future production.

Steam and all digital marketplaces need to drop the “Made with AI” label. It doesn’t matter any more.

I have been Vegan for 7 years, but I cannot afford to buy expensive Vegan food if my posts are ineligible for X ad revenue. This is an attack on my lifestyle and on animals. Puerto Ricans are NOT Americans @CommunityNotes. I will not be silenced.

ALGS has just forced us to play on a random draft POI system in a competitive lobby , probably the worst change ever made in Apex history. #SaveApexComp For context not a single Comp Player was in favor of this and they still pushed it in. Love giving feedback!

The Sandusky situation didn’t give Penn state a competitive advantage but the punishment from the NCAA banned us from bowl games and vacated a lot of wins. The punishment for this Michigan scandal is about to be huuuuge.
Pete Thamel@PeteThamel

Sources: Michigan staffer Connor Stalions bought tickets for more than 30 games at 11 Big Ten schools over the past three years. Also, video evidence of sideline taping is expected to be sent to the NCAA this week, caught by stadium surveillance this year. espn.com/college-footba…
