Tim Cook, one of the most famous names in the tech space, joined iPhone-maker Apple in 1998, after reportedly meeting Apple’s most prominent face, Steve Jobs. Hence, after serving in the capacity of a chief operating officer (COO) at Apple, Cook was eventually promoted to the role of the chief executive officer (CEO), as we know him today.
According to Forbes, as far as Tim Cook’s net worth goes, it is around $1.8 billion which is roughly over Rs 14,000 crore. Not just known for his CEO role but also for his work, Tim Cook has earned a name for himself as a creative boss and for increasing Apple’s revenue and profit, making it one of the most valuable companies.
However, Tim Cook’s heavy net worth is also due to his part in Apple’s shares. As per media reports, Cook owns less than 1 per cent stake in Apple due his ownership of more than 3 million shares.
But not just his extravagant Apple life, even his gender and sexual orientation, have often been talked about. Apple CEO Tim Cook is reportedly the first CEO of a Fortune 500 company who openly came out as gay.
