On the surface, Eve Jobs has a life that most could only dream of.
As the youngest daughter of late billionaire Apple mogul Steve Jobs, most would assume that Eve must’ve grown up like a spoiled heiress without a want or need in the world.
However, it turns out that the 26-year-old’s charmed life isn’t quite what you’d expect.
She had a surprisingly humble upbringing and has worked incredibly hard to carve out a modelling career for herself after being refused an inheritance from her wealthy parents.
As Eve makes headlines for her new romance with Olympic equestrian star Harry Charles, DailyMail.com takes a look at her unexpected journey.

Eve’s modest childhood: Steve and Laurene raised their kids in a ‘low-key’ cottage and limited their technology use
Steve and Laurene tied the knot in March 1991, and welcomed three kids together – son Reed in 1991 and daughters Erin in 1995 and Eve in 1998.
In his biography about Steve, writer Walter Isaacson described the youngest Jobs as a ‘strong-willed, funny firecracker.’
He said that as a child, Eve would often call up her father’s assistant and make her clear out his calendar so that they could spend one-on-one father-daughter time together.
The family grew up in a ‘low-key Tudor-style house on a prosperous street’ in Palo Alto, California, according to U2 front man Bono.
He wrote in his memoir that the abode had a ‘cottage garden full of wildflowers and stuff you could eat, with a gate opening yards from a front door he never locked.’
The LA Times reported that the 5,768-square-foot seven-bedroom home was built in the 1930s and looked like it was ‘plucked from an English village.’
It’s been said that the billionaire Apple founder did his best to give his children a normal upbringing, despite his immense wealth.
The outlet reported that he had ‘no live-in help, no security guards, no drivers.’
He also once revealed that he limited his kids’ technology use – even though he created one of the most successful tech companies on the planet.
He told the New York Times when a reporter asked if his kids ‘loved’ the new iPad, ‘They haven’t used it. We limit how much technology our kids use at home.’

Not getting a penny of her dad’s fortune: Steve left his immense wealth all to his wife, who said she has no plans to give it to their kids
Steve passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2011, when Eve was 12, and was worth an estimated $10.5 billion at the time of his death.
But Eve and her siblings won’t get any of his money, as he left his immense wealth to wife Laurene who revealed in 2020 that she has no plans to give any of it to their kids.
She told the New York Times that her husband made it clear before his death that he didn’t want to pass his earnings down to their kids because he wanted them to work for their own money.
‘I inherited my wealth from my husband, who didn’t care about the accumulation of wealth,’ she said.
‘I’m not interested in legacy wealth building, and my children know that… Steve wasn’t interested in that. If I live long enough, it ends with me.’

Eve’s skyrocketing modeling career: The Stanford Graduate has made waves in the fashion world, posing for Vogue and Louis Vuitton over the years
While both Reed and Erin lead relatively private lives out of the spotlight, Eve has opted for the opposite, launching a major modeling career.
Like both of her parents, she graduated from Stanford University in 2021, where she majored in science, technology, and society.
She then made her runway debut at Paris Fashion Week while walking in the Coperni show that September.
‘I never foresaw modeling, and on a whim, I was like, “Why not?” It drew upon things I knew, igniting the part of me that competing always did,’ she previously told Vanity Fair.
She was signed to DNA Model Management in March 2022 – the same agency that looks after Cindy Crawford’s daughter Kaia Gerber, Dutch model and actress Doutzen Kroes and Girl star Emily Ratajkowski.

She has since posed for a slew of big brands and magazines like Glossier, Louis Vuitton, Vogue, and Vanity Fair.
She’s also landed invites to numerous elite fashion events and runway shows – including the coveted Met Gala in 2022.
Besides her modeling career, Eve is also an experienced equestrian and was named Show Jumping Hall of Fame ‘Rider of the Month’ in March 2017.
She has competed in show jumping competitions all around the globe, including events in the Hamptons, Lexington, Kentucky, Canada, and the United Kingdom, and was ranked as the fifth best rider under 25 in the world by Horse Sports in 2019.
Eve splits her time between New York City and the $15 million ranch in Wellington, Florida, which her mom purchased in 2016 for her to train.
She boasts over 418,000 followers on Instagram, where she often flaunts her lavish lifestyle.
And she told Vanity Fair that she wants to use her platform to make a difference, but admitted that she isn’t sure how yet.
‘As my life unfolds a bit, I’m going to find my avenue to impact the most people in the best way possible,’ she said.
‘I want to take my time and get it right and find something I love, just as I see my mom finding ways in which to reach people.’
