Apple’s Forgotten Co-Founder Gave Up a $316 Billion Stake for Just $800
Ron Wayne, the lesser-known third co-founder of Apple, walked away from the company just 12 days after joining.
At the age of 41, Wayne sold his 10% stake for only $800, fearing personal financial risk from a $15,000 loan tied to Apple’s first major order from the Byte Shop.
At the time, Wayne’s assets were on the line, and he chose caution over the gamble.
