Meet a guy you don’t know unfortunately, Ron Wayne is the third founder of Apple but about the only thing he has ever owned from the company is the 1976 contract with his signature alongside Steve Wozniack and Steve Jobs. After designing the company’s first logo and operating manual he left and sold his 10% stake for $800 11 days later because he got butterflies in his stomach. In this CNN interview he talks about his stake which would have been worth $22 Billion today and the last time he spoke to Steve Jobs 10 years ago.
Uh. At least you’re still alive…..

One of my college friends once told me that his father had the inside option to purchase stock of a company called Microsoft when they first came out. Unfortunately his pops declined and the rest is history. But his pops still became a tad bit wealthy doing other thangs!
Eat shit and die old man.
$22 Billi?…he must be feeling extra salty right now!!!
Please tell me he at least works for Apple somewhere… This poor sap probably doesn’t even believe in God anymore.
Wow! Horrid.
Ok, let me be the only voice of wisdom here. If this guy has any investment savvy, he must be doing fine. You learn from your mistakes and you move on.
Keep in mind the history of Apple as a company. 10 years ago most people posting on this story wouldn’t even know it existed unless you do multimedia and electronic art. What was the stock price 10 years ago? 20 bucks…. so he could have used that same 800 dollars, bought stock then, and what would he have now? 16,000. How about 1990? Stock price 10 bucks. $80,000
He had a good 10 years to get into this “good” company. So why didn’t he? Why didn’t you?
If you learn how to invest and understand, even your mistakes becomes your triumphs. This is not a sad story because he never had the money in the first place. He didn’t loose anything because he never actually made the money.
Apples current P/E ratio is 22, even if you are a novice investor like I am, you know what this could mean. Would you invest now? Maybe Google? Or maybe start your own business? How do you do that?
Questions we all should know backed by research and solid data, but most people do not have A CLUE as t how money is made other than to work for someone else for it.
Or, just maybe, you learn what it is to make money, invest it, and make it work for you.
We’re proud that you have stocks and know about investing but if you watch the video you will see that dude is living off his stamp collection and social security check.
…now that’s some funny ish Kanyeezy!!!! …Maybe “BGAS” in all their infinite stock wisdom should just learn to pay attention to what’s in front of his/her own eyes. Not what could be behind the scenes….my people like to say “if it was a snake it would have bit’em!!!! smh
He lost out… We rich now! I’m on a boat biiitch! iPhone 4… Mac Books and all on deck! Use one of your pretty stamps to send me an apology letter!!!
