And in some ways, the company showcased the worst aspects of his perfectionist, &#8220;feature creep&#8221; tendencies. However, NeXT occupied an immensely important period in Jobs&#8217; life, letting him hone his abilities as a CEO.<\/p>\n<p>Also during this period, he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/apple-history\/pixar-ipo-makes-steve-jobs-billionaire\" data-lasso-id=\"173311\">became a billionaire<\/a>, thanks to a canny investment in Pixar Animation Studios.

When Amelio departed, Jobs offered to help Apple locate new leadership. He stepped into the role of CEO until someone suitable could be found.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the UNIX-based operating system Jobs developed at NeXT <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/apple-history\/os-x-tiah\" data-lasso-id=\"1641709014\">laid the groundwork for OS X<\/a>, which Apple continues to build upon with its latest versions of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/macos\" data-lasso-id=\"1641598130\">macOS<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On September 16, 1997, Apple officially announced Jobs as its interim CEO.
