Regarding Apple, what most people don't know is that Steve Jobs owned 45%, Stephen Wozniak owned 45%, and Ronald Wayne was a 10% owner of Apple. Ronald Wayne, the third guy, often forgotten. Ronald sold his share of the company for $2300 because dealing with vendors at that time was not easy. It was more hassle than he wanted to deal with.

Fast-forward to today.....

Ronald Wayne has a networth of $300,000.

10% of Apple today is now worth 22 Billion and that would have put Ronald Wayne in the top 15 of richest people in the world.
