💲 $400 Billion Sold for Just $800 ❗
One of the most expensive exits in business history…
Ronald Wayne was Apple’s third co-founder.
Just 12 days after Apple was born, he sold his 10% stake for $800—choosing safety over risk when Apple was still a garage dream.
📌 If he had held on:
• That stake would be worth ~$400 BILLION today
• He’d be among the richest people in history
Wayne later said he feared personal financial liability if Apple failed.
Meanwhile, Steve Jobs & Steve Wozniak embraced the risk.
💡 Lesson:
Success often rewards those who can tolerate uncertainty.
Sometimes the biggest mistake isn’t a bad decision—
👉 it’s exiting too early.
History doesn’t remember the safe choice.
It remembers the bold one. 🚀
