The Value Of Jobs...

Barron's online has an article(member's only... sorry) that talks about the "World's Best CEOs". In the article they refer to his Stevedom by saying: "The consummate innovator is Apple's Steve Jobs, who arguably is the world's most valuable CEO and whose unexpected departure could cut 30 or 40 points from the price of Apple shares, now around 130. That makes him a $25 billion man. From the iPod to the iPhone, Jobs continues to innovate and to defy doubters awaiting a major failure. And with Apple depending on the success of new products in the fiercely competitive market for consumer electronics, Jobs is the ultimate high-wire act in American business."...

So one has to ask, if he's this valuable to Apple...

How valuable is he to Disney?

How Much Is A Lamp Worth?

Variety has a nice article about Bob Iger from a Q & A had in New York where Disney's CEO discusses the purchase of Pixar and how it's benefited the Mouse.

A clue:

He has no regrets and believes the price was a value.

Come the end of summer when the box office receipts for "Wall-E" come in he may realize it was a bargain... and Steve Jobs may be kicking himself thinking he didn't ask enough for Luxo!
