When Steve Jobs' ex-girlfriend asked him to pay $25M

I can't determine if she was just after his money, or genuinely thought having money would solve all of her problems.
The one issue I do have is with Jobs basically ignoring his daughter for most of her life, which isn't cool. Maybe because he'd have to deal with her mother and was just easier to ignore them both?
Again, this article brings up a lot more questions about the mother than Jobs.
Also $25 million for a good life? That's the amount needed for very rich life. Artist that cannot sustain herself, looses everything and lives with friends writing letters for few years asking for money from her ex. Sounds great.
