Behind Kamala Harris’s Rise: Silicon Valley’s Wealthiest Woman Laurene Powell Jobs


After Vice President Joe Biden swore in Kamala Harris as a United States senator in January 2017, they posed for a customary photo in the Capitol with her family. Then she asked her future boss for a favor: Would he indulge in one more photo?

“Come on, everybody,” Ms. Harris said, waving in a dozen others. “My extended family is here.”
The first member of Ms. Harris’s entourage to approach Mr. Biden just happened to be one of the richest people in the world: Laurene Powell Jobs.

Ms. Powell Jobs, who for decades was married to one of America’s most famous entrepreneurs, Steve Jobs.

She played a hidden but key role in helping usher Mr. Biden out of the race, which cleared the way for a Harris run.

They have gone on personal trips together, with Ms. Harris at times flying on Ms. Powell Jobs’s private plane.
