I just found out about this guy recently, and his story is interesting, although it got me pretty bummed out.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Wayne
Summary for those who don't want to read the wiki entry:
-He co-founded Apple with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak
-In the company's first year, he sold his 10% share for $800. That 10% today is worth about $58 billion.
-In the nineties he sold the paper he and the 2 Steves had signed as their contract, for $500. That contract later sold at auction for over $1 million.
-Started up a few businesses later that didn't really go anywhere.
He said in an interview that he realized that he "had no business being in business."
He seems generally content with his life, and says he doesn't regret leaving Apple when he did, and I hope he truly feels that way. I know I'd have a really hard time with that.
Really no questions to go along with this, just thought it'd be an interesting post to share.
