Behind the talented, erratic, and humble Steve Jobs are stories that few would have expected.
Steve Jobs was born on 24/2/1955 and passed away on 5/10/2011, known as the figure behind numerous innovations that changed the world of technology. The co-founder of Apple is often remembered as a genius leader, a revolutionary, and an entrepreneur.
He had a very simple dress style, including his distinctive black turtleneck, New Balance sneakers, and blue jeans. This simplicity contrasts with his personality - meticulous, complex, and unpredictable.
Employees who have worked with him describe Steve Jobs as a complex and extremely demanding person. Almost no one wants to disappoint Steve Jobs, as he would get upset and not hesitate to criticize those who do not meet his standards.
Furthermore, Steve Jobs is also known for his strange hobbies and behaviors. One of them is constantly changing his Mercedes AMG every 6 months. In his later years, people often saw him driving a Mercedes SL55 AMG, but his car never had a license plate. How did he get past the police? Does he have any privileges to drive without a license plate?
Exploiting legal loopholes to drive without the need for license plates.
Steve Jobs had a strong aversion to license plates. Consequently, he discovered a gap in the California traffic laws to navigate around the regulations.
Specifically, there is a provision stating that vehicle owners can drive a new car for up to 6 months without registering license plates.
Taking advantage of this loophole, Steve Jobs leased a silver Mercedes SL55 AMG and replaced it with a new one every 6 months, eliminating the need to register license plates.
He applied a similar strategy with a Porsche 911 before transitioning to the use of a Mercedes SL55 AMG.
Parking in spaces designated for people with disabilities.
In addition to avoiding license plate installation, Steve Jobs often parked at the designated spot for people with disabilities at Apple's headquarters. This behavior garnered him quite a bit of criticism.
It seems like Steve Jobs didn't care much, as he owned the entire parking lot. According to an Apple employee, due to his whimsical parking habits, someone changed the disabled parking sign to a Mercedes logo. The employee revealed that despite undergoing liver treatment and transplantation, Jobs' car was never labeled as a disabled vehicle, making his parking there illegal.
Despite trying to bend the rules as much as possible, Steve Jobs still received fines at least a few times. However, being a tech billionaire, he didn't seem to mind paying the fines.
