"Steve Jobs' widow" <- c'mon, she has a name, you know.

Thank you for pointing this out. Referring to her as the NYT did in the headline (Laurene Powell Jobs) would get the same point across.

the source of the money is significant, and is not obvious from her full name

The source of the money is her. Unless you know something about Steve's ability to transact business from beyond the afterlife.

she’s an MBA student who came into her wealth by marrying rich. Am I misunderstanding something?

Yes. Her agency and humanity. She is not Steve. She has her own agenda.

I understand your point, but mine is a different one—that large tech fortunes are buying up the US press. So provenance matters

Only as far as that provenance affects the agenda. In this case, I disagree with you.

Regardless of your point, it's gross to refer to women in terms of their connection to men. It furthers the idea that we don't matter.
