While we’re all getting ready to write our letters to Steve Jobs about their discriminatory advertising hiring practices, I saw the video above and an article about Ron Wayne, the third cofounder of Apple.  It’s an interesting story.  At it’s founding, Wayne owned 10% of Apple, along with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, who each owned 45%.  After 11 days of Apple’s existence, Wayne got the others to buy him out, taking $800 in exchange for his 10%.  Had he kept his share, he would have been worth $22 billion today.  An engineer by trade, he is currently retired and lives off of his social security.
