Lisa was born in 1978 after Jobs had a five-year relationship with her mother Chrisann Brennan which ended when she became pregnant.
In her new book, Small Fry, which is out September 4, Lisa reveals how her renowned father once turned nasty and told her, “You’re getting nothing” when she asked to have his Porsche when he was done with it.
“You’re not getting anything, you understand?” Jobs told her.
She also revealed in the new memoir that as her father lay dying of cancer, he told her that she smelled “like a toilet”. She said he made the cruel dig at her after he smelled the rose facial mist she had sprayed on herself.
Lisa said that her father spoke in “such a sour, biting way” and that he once said to her, “I’m one of the most important people you will ever know.”
Lisa had a troubled relationship with her father. She says that for her father, her very existence was a disappointment and a source of shame. She said that in her father’s eyes she was a “blot on a spectacular ascent, as our story did not fit with the narrative of greatness and virtue he might have wanted for himself.”
