"The Patience of Jobs"
(p. 7) Steve Jobs was missing from the scene of the meeting, though he would soon be Disney's largest individual shareholder (the acquisition was a stock-for-stock trade) and the newest member of Disney's board. Lasseter was right about his money; Jobs had driven a hard bargain in buying Lucas's Computer Division for five million dollars (not ten million, as is sometimes reported), but as it turned out, he put ten times that amount into the company over the course of a decade to keep it afloat. Few other investors would have had the patience of Jobs.

(Note: my strong impression is that the pagination is the same for the 2008 hardback and the 2009 paperback editions, except for part of the epilogue, which is revised and expanded in the paperback. I believe the passage above has the same page number in both editions.)
