Guess he's just a really humble guy.

My dad did clean up work after a tech company had a party. They offered him stocks or money. He took the money. He admittedly said at the time he had no idea what stocks were, but he knew his kids had to eat. Respect Dad

I would have suicidal thoughts if I missed that huge pile.

Every week you don't buy a winning lottery ticket, you miss out on millions of dollars.

[daydaykilla]

He 1000% regrets to he has no regrets.

[farticles]

Some people don't care that much about money. The people that do care, rarely use their money for good or others

[Mist]

Hes right, we could be laughing behind our screens and not know we're making massive blunders today that would take affect in some years.

[faizgenty]

money isn’t everything ali.
steve jobs died because of his work ethic and all his money couldn’t save him

[yybybrrc]

Bro would’ve been richer than Elon Musk 😭😭😭

[lollmaoon]

I wouldn't regret it either.
Ngl, you gotta do what you love and want.
He has chosen passion instead of money.
Respectable choice tbh.

[mynameismal]

I can feel that regret and it ain't even mine

One of my favorite quotes comes from Steve Wozniak: “Don’t trust a computer that you can’t throw out a window.”

That quote was later used in the game Civilization IV, recited by the late legendary actor Leonard Nimoy.

And Ronald Wayne’s net worth right now is only $400, 000💀 like Bro could’ve had $270 billion

[Naeidea]

The thing about hindsight is we all "lost out" because we never saw any of the leading markets explode.

He is absolutely right in every sense of the word that he has no regrets, why should he struggle to see and find passion in something he wasn't interested in, and have his decision to sell out shortly after being establish be a reason to regret that decision?

He made a life affirming decision to sell and follow his passion and that shouldn't be compared in a monetary value, he did what most of us don't have the guts to do and he sold out and walked a road he was happier in.

Moral of the Story: Don’t give up on your business unless it’s absolutely crushed.

[tomcurl]

Dude was right. He didn’t know how successful the company would be, but he likely should’ve at least given the chance for the company to properly get started before he divested.

[theinvisiblewoman]

No one should have world changing money. So Ronald made the right choice morally.

[Codahh_]

He later went on to start a meth empire.

way back in 80s my grandpa met someone working in apple and he got a chance to invest in the company. he invested around 25 thousand dollars. some time later he sold those stocks because he needed to buy stuff for his old factory. if he didnt sell those stocks he would have around 28 million dollars right now in 2024.
