Tim, who is worth an estimated $500million, came out as gay in an editorial for Bloomberg Business Week, stating: 

 
"Let me be clear: I'm proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me".

Being gay has given me a deeper understanding of what it means to be in the minority and provided a window into the challenges that people in other minority groups deal with every day. 

It's made me more empathetic, which has led to a richer life. It's been tough and uncomfortable at times, but it has given me the confidence to be myself, to follow my own path, and to rise above adversity and bigotry.

 It's also given me the skin of a rhinoceros, which comes in handy when you're the CEO of Apple he said .
