"I think you mean 'shed/cast light on'." Yes, mixed metaphor. "The author believes that having a family to support (apparently that's a characteristic of latecomers) makes them deserving of a more equal stake." Good point. Btw I respect the OP for making these comments. They have every right and don't really need to defend them. I make comment because of the ^Ronco principle^. "In a sufficiently connected and unpredictable world, you can't seem good without being good." [0] That's what I'm thinking of when I read the essay and comments here. And this.

Money was really never much of a problem for him after launching Apple and receiving the initial investment from Mike Markkula. I think he just cared about making great stuff and figured the wealth would come along with that belief." "As for Woz, he was content with his initial portion of the ~$190-million he received on Apple's IPO. He did end up giving quite a large number of his shares to other early employees of Apple, who Jobs felt weren't worthy of a share grant." ~ Paul Salzman, https://www.quora.com/Why-was-Steve-Jobs-so-much-richer-than-Steve-Wozniak-even-though-they-founded-Apple-together https://www.quora.com/Why-was-Steve-Jobs-so-much-richer-than...
