Chrisann Brennan (American Painter) – Net Worth, Paintings, Images, Photos

Chrisann Brennan is an American painter and writer who is best known as the once-love flame of Apple founder, Steve Jobs. Lady love of the billionaire crown prince of Silicon Valley and the mother of his child, all of it may seem fancy and upbeat to common people but there were more layers in Brennan-Job relationship than anyone knew. Popularly labelling her relationship with him as ‘fire and ice’, Brennan and Jobs were as close together as they were poles apart. One moment, they were involved with each other and at the very next they seemed like being bored to death. Despite being in a relationship with him for years and even giving birth to his daughter, Jobs and Brennan never married. When Jobs started to concentrate his energy on Apple, Brennan became one of his rock solid pillars. She helped Jobs turn his vision into a reality. She even worked at the Shipping Department of the company and was also offered a position for designing blueprints, a position that she later declined due to her pregnancy. A passionate art enthusiast, Brennan currently works as a painter. In 2013, she came to limelight yet again with her memoir ‘The Bite in the Apple’ in which she wrote about Jobs, his relationship with her and his being a ‘brilliant misfit’ in social circle.

Career

Career: In early 1975, Chrisann Brennan became involved with a Zen Buddhist community in Los Altos. By then, she wasn’t in regular contact with Steve Jobs who had gone to India briefly but was back. It was at the community service program that she met Jobs again. Together, the two worked with Zen master Kobun. Meanwhile, she enrolled at the Foothill College where she took up a program under Gordon Holler. Jobs, on the other hand, was chiefly working with Kobun and Woz. She then went on a trip to India.

Upon returning from India, Chrisann Brennan visited Jobs. During this time Jobs was working on the first prototype of an Apple computer. The couple spent more time together working on the device. They stayed together at Duveneck Ranch, where she took up a post of a teacher for inner city children. Apple’s success story complicated their relationship further. They were like fire and ice – melting for each other at one time and icy cold at the very next. To break the extreme intensity between the two, they shared the house with Daniel Kottke.
