From Jim H

Tech blogger Kim Komando posted the following blurb about Apple, and this is the first time I was aware of another founder of Apple -- Ronald

Wayne. He sure missed an investment opportunity. If, say, I had been there and given an opportunity to invest $ in a start-up company, would I have done so? Good question, and I dunno! How about you?...Jim

We’ve all got that “if only I hadn’t sold that stock/house/crypto back then” story. None of them tops the saga of Ronald Wayne, the lesser-known Apple cofounder. After just 12 days, he cashed out his share for an amount that would be worth up to $400 billion today.

🤑 How much did Ronald get when he basically said, “You guys run with it. I want no part of a computer company”? A) $800, B) $1,700, C) $5,300 or D) $10,500? The gut punch answer is waiting at the end.

The answer: B) $800. That’s all Apple cofounder Ronald Wayne took home after selling his 10% stake in the company, 12 days into starting it. He drafted Apple’s original partnership agreement and designed the very first logo, a pen-and-ink illustration of Isaac Newton under an apple tree. He reportedly used the $800 to buy a typewriter and said he had no regrets. Damn. $400B.
