You may already know that in the final year of his life, Jobs revealed a stunning betrayal — and told his biographer, "I will spend my last dying breath... and every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank to right this wrong."

Chris Hill doesn't own shares of any of the companies mentioned. The Motley Fool owns shares of Ensco. The Motley Fool's disclosure policy looks good even without jewelry.
