So what?
I don't know what qualifies as 'cashing in', but there's more to life than just running a company. Just because you've decided not to stick around for 20-30 years doesn't mean everything you did up until then wasn't hard work.

"I wasn't always there for them, and I wanted them to know why and to understand what I did." [0] I don't judge him for his life choices, but growing a business is a serious commitment. Jobs is kind of ignoring that point.
