What it feels like to lose $60 billion

Apple wasn’t started by just two guys named Steve. Besides Jobs and Wozniak, the oft-forgotten third founder of Apple is Ronald Wayne, who left the fledgling company 12 days after it was founded in April 1976.
Wayne sold his 10 percent share of the company for $800, plus an additional $1,500 payout later that year. That share would be worth more than $60 billion today. In a 2011 interview with Bloomberg Television, the now-80-year-old Wayne said he had no regrets.

Did he lose it if he never actually had it?

Whatever you want to call it buddy. This isn't a $20 bill. It's $60,000,000,000

Pretty sure that guy is still doing very well for himself and not worried about money.

I wonder if he checks the stock price everyday like Walter White.

he lives in a mobile home in the desert selling stamps.

He had the stake in the company, which is what ended up being worth sixty billion.
If you had a Honus Wagner original card, and threw it away because it was once worthless, you still had the card; so by tossing it, you lost the future value of the card.

Broke, make all these guru's happy and change it to: What's it like to sign away $60B?"

How much is this guy worth right now?
And no, I didn't click the link.

No regrets...
except that time I threw away 60 billion dollars.

That's a damn fine mobile home. He'd be a king in Livingston Parish.

It's my credo

oft-forgotten?! I feel like I see this same exact story pop up 3-4x a year for the past 5 years.
