""My success has never been defined by money. It's been defined by acting with clarity, integrity, and sound judgment, given what I actually knew at the time.""
""In hindsight, selling his stake looks like a costly mistake. But in 1976, Apple was far from a sure bet.""
Ronald G. Wayne, an engineer at Atari, co-founded Apple with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak but sold his 10% stake for $800 after 12 days. Concerned about financial risks, he later received $1,500 to forfeit future claims. Today, that stake could be worth over $400 billion. Wayne has lived a quiet life away from Silicon Valley, relying on Social Security and selling rare items. At 91, he reflects on his decision with clarity, emphasizing that his success is defined by integrity and sound judgment rather than money.
