The $800 Decision That Cost $320 Billion: Ron Wayne’s Apple Story

In 1976, Ron Wayne, one of Apple’s original co-founders, made a choice that became a legendary business lesson. Worried about financial risks, he sold his 10% stake in Apple for just $800. At the time, it felt like a safe move—but history had other plans.

Today, that same stake would be worth a mind-blowing $320 billion! Wayne’s story is a reminder that success often comes with risks, and sometimes, the boldest moves lead to the biggest payoffs.
