How to play

Goal

Spend $10.2 billion. But only on things Steve would actually buy. Every purchase moves your Jobs Score up — or way, way down.

  1. 1. Browse the catalog

    Items are grouped by tier: daily essentials, design pieces, anti-Jobs temptations, and legacy-scale bets.

  2. 2. Add to cart

    Tap + to buy more, − to undo. The top bar shows your remaining balance live. You can't go negative.

  3. 3. Checkout

    When you've spent all you want to spend, hit Checkout. You'll get a Jobs Score, a verdict, and a shareable card.

Things to try

  • Aim for a perfect score — buy nothing in the anti-Jobs tier. Hard than it looks.
  • Try buying every Windows / Galaxy / gold-chain item just to see what verdict you earn.
  • Spend the full $10.2B without going over. Then Share the card.

Steve Jobs' real net worth at his death is estimated at $7B–$10.5B. We rounded up.
