San Francisco reportedly has a new home sale record thanks to Laurene Powell Jobs.
The widow of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs recently completed the purchase of a home in the Pacific Heights neighborhood that cost her $70 million, The Wall Street Journal reported, using unnamed sources.
That eight-figure sale price beat the record of $43.5 million that had stood in the city for the past three years, per the outlet.
