6 degrees of Steve Jobs: Round 7 – Maria Sharapova
Steve Jobs enjoys a unique position among technology leaders in that he has strong ties to the entertainment industry as well. Because of these ties, we feel it may be possible to link Steve Jobs to almost every famous person in history (except, oddly enough, Kevin Bacon) through a series of past events. To test this theory (and pass the time on slow news days), we have created the 6 Degrees of Steve game.
Let’s play!
For Round 7, we thought we’d mix up this sausage fest and inject a little estrogen into the game. And what better place to start than with the lovely Maria Sharapova, international tennis star and spokesmodel for almost every major company known to man.
So let’s see if The Almighty Steve has any links to the sports world. Remember, you have to link her to Steve in 6 steps or less. Points awarded for creativity and obscurity.
Good luck!
