How many of these are still floating around? ・・・ #REWIND 45 years to April 1, 1976... ⌨️ Throwing caution to the wind on #AprilFoolsDay, #SteveJobs, @stevewozniakofficial and #RonaldWayne form @apple. That July, they begin to sell the Apple I personal computer kits that were hand-built by Wozniak. Apple is incorporated in January 1977, but without Wayne, who sells his share of the company back to Jobs and Wozniak for $800. ______ #Apple #AppleComputer #AppleI #technology #SteveJobs #SteveWozniak #RonaldWayne #70s #onthisday #history #popculture #TimeRewind https://www.instagram.com/p/CNJVGroBgSc/?igshid=n8je07leowua

Ronald Wayne, the third founder of Apple alongside Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, sold his shares for a mere $800 after 12 days in the company. His stake, i.e. 10% of the company, would be worth $35 billion today with Apple's current valuation.
