Steve Jobs founded Apple on 1 April 1976, with his friend Steve Wozniak. The pair initially worked out of Jobs' family garage in California, they had to sell some of their possessions - including Jobs' Volkswagen van - in order to fund development of the Apple I.
However their hard work paid off in 1977 when the Apple II computer (pictured) became a big-seller. The first Apple II had a 1Mhz processor, 4K of RAM and loaded programes from audio cassette. It launched with an affordable price tag of $1,298 and was an enormous success. Jobs was 25 when Apple became a public company in 1980, by which time he had amassed a personal fortune of $165 million.
