Okay, let's look at the donations that he has to disclose by law: "while Jobs gave $254,000. (His wife Laurene Powell Jobs, however, donated more than $502,915 federally" (Source: http://blogs.seattleweekly.com/dailyweekly/2011/01/bill_gates_tops_steve_jobs_in.php http://blogs.seattleweekly.com/dailyweekly/2011/01/bill_gate...).
What's more likely, that this person who intensely guards his personal life contributes only to politicians and supports no causes on his own or that he doesn't publicize anything about his personal life other than what he has to?
Everything I've read about Jobs points to him being very uncomfortable with having his life laid open for everyone to peer at and critique.

That is useful information, if one wanted to determine whether Jobs donates to anything. Again, I'm not suggesting he is obligated to do so. If he wants to be the one who dies with the most toys, and it appears that he does based on the amount of his charitable contributions compared to some of his peers, that's absolutely fine with me. (I think he's a dick based on the way he behaved toward Woz and early Apple employees with regard to money, and not so much based on lack of charitable giving.) I was just pointing out that saying, "Some people donate anonymously" is not a meaningful contribution to the discussion. Which people? Is Jobs among them? How do we know that? It's a no-op statement in the context in which it was used, and I find that annoying.
