Steve Jobs's tangled family of a forgotten father, long-lost sister and love child means lawyers may face a delicate task breaking up his $8.3billion fortune.
The 56-year-old co-founder and former CEO of Apple is widely seen as one of the world's greatest entrepreneurs - and he died just outside the top 100 world’s richest billionaires.
But behind the iconic Californian's wealth and fame lies an extraordinary story of a fragmented family.
Mr Jobs, of Palo Alto, California, is survived by his sisters Patti Jobs and Mona Simpson, his wife Laurene Powell Jobs and their three children Eve, Erin and Reed.
But his family is far from straightforward
He was adopted as a baby and, despite his biological father's attempts to contact him later on, remained estranged from his natural parents.
In his early twenties Mr Jobs became embroiled in a family scandal before his days of close media scrutiny, after he fathered a love child with his high school sweetheart Chrisann Brennan.
Ms Brennan, who was his first serious girlfriend, became pregnant in 1977 - and he at first denied he was the father.
She gave birth to Lisa Brennan-Jobs in 1978 - and in the same year Mr Jobs created the 'Lisa' computer, but insisted it only stood for 'Local Integrated Software Architecture'.
The mother initially raised their daughter on benefits.
But he accepted his responsibilities two years later after a court-ordered blood test proved he was the father, despite his claims of being 'infertile'.
Ms Brennan-Jobs has made a living for herself, after graduating from Harvard University, as a journalist and writer.

She was eventually invited into her father's life as a teenager and told Vogue that she 'lived with him for a few years'.
In California, my mother had raised me mostly alone,' Lisa wrote in an article for Vogue in 2008. 'We didn’t have many things, but she is warm and we were happy. We moved a lot. We rented.
