Worked up? Don't flatter yourself, brah.

If worked up means laughing at how stupid this thread is making you look, then consider me Cameo (minus the ke).

No fricking shite. And I seriously would've given him some business once I get to the point that I have money I want to play with in the market.

I'll agree that he never had the $60B but there's no way he can honestly say he "has NO regrets".

Can I tell people I used to be a millionaire if I sold Tesla stock for $5 and the stock is now at $280? Even though I was never worth a million dollars?

I'm sure deep down he may. But I don't know...if I'm trying to rationalize him saying that, I'm sure he thinks it would've been nice to have the shares now, but at the time he likely made a great business decision. That's my assumption for why he says he doesn't regret it.

But that doesn't mean he does wish he had the money.

Steve Jobs is a piece of shite for not giving this guy money.

Liberals should eat Apple alive for this.

Sounds like Jobs did give him some money for his stake.

Reading up on this guy, it appears that outside of the original logo, they really didn't keep anything he did...as the VC firm that came in later in the year he left rewrote and updated most of his work.

So who knows if the company would have been as successful if he remained on board...or if Jobs would have even kept him around for the long haul.

I'm still wondering what it feels like to lose $60 billion, because this thread hasn't helped with that yet.

Yeah apple's logo isnt really noticeable or important.

The guy should be given a minimum of 40% of everything steve jobs and wozniak have. It's fair. They didnt build that themsleves.

It's iconic now...but only because the company succeeded. Largely in part from the infusion of cash by the VC Firm after this guy left.
