đČ $400 Billion Sold for Just $800 â
One of the most expensive exits in business historyâŠ
Ronald Wayne was Appleâs third co-founder.
Just 12 days after Apple was born, he sold his 10% stake for $800âchoosing safety over risk when Apple was still a garage dream.
đ If he had held on:
âą That stake would be worth ~$400 BILLION today
âą Heâd 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.
đĄ Lesson:
Success often rewards those who can tolerate uncertainty.
Sometimes the biggest mistake isnât a bad decisionâ
đ itâs exiting too early.
History doesnât remember the safe choice.
It remembers the bold one. đ
