Powell and Steve Jobs were married for 20 years and after his death, she inherited an estate of about $10 billion. Despite being one of the richest women in the U.S. she has kept a deliberately low profile as she continues with her charitable work.
The billionaire widow is investing her time and money in the future of American youths and last year she donated $50million to XQ - a project aimed to at re-imagining America's public high schools and how they fit in a technology-focused world.
The project is spearheaded by Emerson Collective, a philanthropic group founded by Powell Jobs to work on improving education and champion social causes, including immigration reform.

Referencing the conflict between the FBI and Apple over an encrypted iPhone used by the San Bernardino attacker, Clinton said the technology community and government must find ways to work together
Clinton on Wednesday also addressed the future of technology and spoke about how America must utilize the ever changing medium as a means of fighting terrorism. Her words come just a day after horrifying terror attacks left dozens dead in Brussels, Belgium.
Referencing the conflict between the FBI and Apple over an encrypted iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino attackers, Clinton said the technology community and government must find ways to work together, calling for an ‘intelligence surge’ in the United States and with allies.
She also said the Brussels attacks showed the need for a ‘harder look at security protocols at airports and other sensitive, so-called soft sites.’
Clinton on Wednesday called for 'strong, smart, steady leadership,' arguing that recent comments from Republicans Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz show they are not up to the task of combating Islamic militants.
'Turning our back on our alliances, or turning our alliance into a protection racket would reverse decades of bipartisan American leadership and send a dangerous signal to friend and foe alike,' she said, referencing a call by Trump to lessen U.S. involvement in NATO.
'Putin already hopes to divide Europe. If Mr. Trump gets his way, it will be like Christmas in the Kremlin.'
