## Caption

Before she wrote a memoir or inherited millions, Lisa Brennan-Jobs was just a 9-year-old hoping her father, Steve Jobs, might one day give her his old Porsche. Instead, he snapped: “You're getting nothing.” In her 2018 memoir Small Fry, Lisa recounts this moment not for the car, but for what it revealed — the emotional distance and pain in her relationship with her father. Jobs had denied paternity when she was born in 1978, and only began paying minimal child support after a court-ordered DNA test. Lisa was raised by her mother, Chrisann Brennan, often on welfare. Though Jobs eventually offered more financial support — cars, tuition, a $400,000 home — Lisa said it was always a struggle: “He was cheap as he could be.” Even at Harvard, he refused to pay for her senior year; friends covered it, and Jobs reimbursed them later. After his death in 2011, Lisa received a multimillion-dollar inheritance, though most of his $10.8 billion fortune went to his wife, Laurene Powell Jobs, who said she had no plans to pass it on. Lisa's memoir doesn't aim to vilify Jobs but portrays the emotional complexity of their relationship — marked by longing, rejection, and a daughter seeking more than just money.
