“Since rejoining the Company in 1997, Mr. Jobs had not sold any of his shares of the Company’s stock. Mr. Jobs held no unvested equity awards. The Company recognized that Mr. Jobs’s level of stock ownership significantly aligned his interests with shareholders’ interests.“

Apple’s 2012 Proxy Statement

In a world where the likes of Steve Ballmer and many others routinely sell huge portions of their shares, Jobs kept all of his. $2,319,515,000 worth, as Dustin Curtis points out.

That’s dedication and loyalty. That’s putting your money where your mouth is.

Jobs made something like $3B from Pixar, so one could say he had the luxury of being able to go “all in” with Apple and still have more money that he knew what to do with. 

It’s a great thing to show that much confidence in your company, but not necessarily the perfect model for every entrepreneur.
