user157: I've heard Steve Jobs described as a Buddhist but is that actually true? I know that he was married by Zen monks but did he actually have a Buddhist practice, meditate or was associated with a particular sangha. Or was it just more of an interest with him rather than him actually identifying as a Buddhist?

user5715: Why not just google him? I see dozens of articles. Including:

What Kind of Buddhist was Steve Jobs, Really? PLosOneBlog
Here's How Zen Meditation Changed Steve Jobs' Life And Sparked A Design Revolution. Business Insider
Steve Jobs' private spirituality now an open book. USAToday.

Take your pick. I don't see how StackExchange/Buddhism is going to help you here. Unless of course there is someone who writes answers that knew him personally, we're all reliant on what is in the media.
