  It's not so black and white. He was erratic. Some things Jobs did were wonderful. In this situation I could see him detesting the way his relationships were poisoned with money and not wanting his daughter to rest on her laurels waiting for a payday.

    A search for 'nice things Steve Jobs did' is damning: watch how hard journalists struggle to find some small anecdotes of kindness to say about him. 'He came out and helped us fix my car in the driveway.' 'He gave his team inspiring speeches.' 'He protected the resources he needed from interdepartmental criticism.' It's clear that he was a dickhead to anyone he could get away with it to, while expressing the infrequent, but still present, in group-support, and the hyperbolic in-group praise, typical of a narcissist. He even died due to his own hubris.

    Maybe he could have elaborated on that to his own daughter. Instead of requiring her to infer that this was the meaning.
