Deadbeat Daddy

Many people don't know that Steve Jobs had an illegitimate daughter, Lisa. Steve had his first daughter with his on-again-off-again girlfriend Chrisann Brennan in 1978 and denied paternity, going so far as to argue infertility in court (he has had 3 "legitimate" children since). After he lost the case, he would visit infrequently — so little in fact that at 3 years old, she had no idea who he was! Quoting Jobs "I didn't want to be a father, so I wasn't". Although this doesn't get you a one a way ticket to the Inferno, I think the quote and his actions speak volumes of his character.
