Apple CEO Steve Jobs has been named "CEO of the Decade" this month by Fortune magazine, mainly for the historic marks he has left in multiple industries.
Jobs, best known for being behind the company that created the Mac computer and the iPod media device, won the award after almost 25 years in the business.
Apple was founded in 1985 but Jobs was ousted from his position in the mid-90s. When he returned in 1997, the company's stock price had been deflated to $2. Today the stock stands at $188, about $15 off its all-time high despite a grueling global depression.
Jobs also purchased Pixar in 1986, and was behind helping the studio becoming an animation powerhouse unrivaled in the industry.
