Why do you see him as power hungry? I see him as having a kind of technological artistic vision at the level of genius, and being so intensely focussed on that vision that he has neither time nor patience for anything that does not help him reach that vision. But from what I've read, if you can understand his objective, he gives you all the power you can use to pursue it with him.

Of course he doesn't let go unless he has to. But it has nothing to do with greed or power - it has to do with being driven to achieve his vision. If he were a writer, he'd have to write. If he were a muscian, he'd have to make music. If he were a painter, he'd have to paint. But he's a Steve Jobs, so he has to Apple.
His salary for the last many years is $1 per year. Is that Greedy? He only succeeds if the company succeeds. Perhaps a model for all companies.

Only Apple? Do people forget he had similar success with Pixar?
