I think it is inappropriate to draw attention to somebody's personal life like this. I wonder what the results of someone analyzing the author's charitable giving would be.

It is considered a social norm to comment on or assess the "personal lives" of people with, say, $US8.3B in personal wealth. As least as far as "what are said people doing with these unusual quantities of money" goes. There might be a bit of public significance in that; see also Gates and Buffett.

This isn't discussing the length of his dick, for crying out loud.

Trying to turn it around on the author is questionable, given that Andrew Sorkin would be lucky to have one thousandth part of the wealth of Steve Jobs and thus the public interest in what Sorkin is doing is quite small.
