As of 2026, the estate of Steve Jobs, primarily managed through the Steven P. Jobs Trust, no longer holds the massive 7.7% stake it once did. After Jobs passed away in 2011, his widow, Laurene Powell Jobs, became the largest individual shareholder of Disney. However, over the following decade, she significantly diversified the trust's portfolio, selling off roughly half of the Disney shares by 2017 and continuing to reduce the position to fund her philanthropic organization, Emerson Collective. While the trust may still hold a notable number of shares, it is no longer the dominant "controlling" individual block it was in 2006 when Jobs sold Pixar to Disney. Steve Jobs himself does not "own" Disney, but his legacy remains intertwined with the company through his previous board seat and the permanent integration of Pixar into the Disney brand.
