This man founded a $3 TRILLION company.

He could've been one of the richest people to ever live.

But he ended up making only $800 from it because of ONE regretful decision.

Here’s the story behind the biggest “What if?” in history: https://t.co/4QXD99zv5g
In 1976, Apple wasn’t a tech giant. It was two guys—Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.

Working out of a garage, dreaming of building computers.

Jobs needed someone with business experience though.

So Ronald Wayne, who was already a seasoned entrepreneur, joined the business. https://t.co/QLdYDBU3Ft
His role? 

Handle administration, draw up contracts, and bring some stability to the chaotic company.

Wayne even designed Apple’s first logo, which was… very different from today’s sleek design: https://t.co/67o7VIRX67
Wayne also drafted the company’s partnership agreement.

Giving himself a 10% stake in Apple. 

Jobs and Wozniak each held 45%.

But there was a catch: 

Wayne had personal assets that could be seized if Apple went into debt.

But Jobs and Woz had nothing to lose. https://t.co/lHfJP9ioZS
Just 12 days later, Wayne got cold feet. 

He thought that Apple was going to fail and would leave him financially ruined.

So he sold his 10% stake back to Jobs and Wozniak for $800. 

They later gave him an extra $1,500 to forfeit all future claims. https://t.co/QZmCWpDK1Y
For Wayne, it felt like a safe move. 

Apple was a risky startup, and Jobs was a relentless visionary. 

At the time, $800 was a lot of money for him.

But his ‘playing it safe’ gamble backfired.

That 10% stake? Today, it would be worth over $300 BILLION. https://t.co/xA5InCtEEZ
Let’s put that into perspective:

Ronald Wayne would have been the second richest man on earth, only Elon beats him.

With $300 billion, he could afford to buy - everything.

Instead, he left it all behind... https://t.co/xkFissLxNL
But Wayne didn’t stop there. 

In the 1990s, he sold the original Apple contract for just $500.

Years later, that same document sold at auction for $1.6 million. 

Talk about adding insult to injury. https://t.co/fomSob8ssH
Despite all this, Wayne says he has no regrets.

In interviews, he’s said he wasn’t cut out for the high-stakes world of Steve Jobs. 

He preferred a quiet life, WITHOUT the pressure of risking everything.

He even joked: “I’d end up the richest man in the cemetery.” https://t.co/ig9Ma3rm7b
Ronald Wayne’s story is a wild mix of caution, missed opportunity, and the unpredictable nature of success.

He may not be $300 billion richer, but his legacy as Apple’s forgotten co-founder will live forever.

Make sure you don't end up as a “What if”.

No risk, no reward.
