In 1985, the board of Apple fired Jobs for the reason that "he was uncontrollable".
But in 1997, with the company's profits shrinking and the success of Microsoft's Windows 97, Apple's board decided to re-hire this genius. In August of that year, Jobs came back and became the company's chairman.
Today, Jobs is recognized as one of Apple's most valuable assets -- just hours after news released that Jobs would take medical leave for bad health, the company's stock fell 4 percent.
