Apples contracts need more buttons.

So Ron Wayne sold his 10 percent of the company for what became a total $2,300. Would be worth $2B today according to this article.

And he sold these very documents, what sold today for over a million, in 1994 - anyone know for how much he parted with them for? I'm guessing less than $1,000.

Boy needs to learn to hang on to his investments longer.

The apple contract is easier to read, but you can't change anything on it, and you can't play tic-tac-toe or hangman on it as well.

There's no telling what it would have been worth. He might have used his 10% influence to demand that they sink everything into the Apple IV and the Mac might never have happened.

On the other hand, $1.6m for a piece of paper of dubious historical interest does a great job of reinforcing the idea that the 1% make wiser financial choices than the rest of us.

I'm surprised nobody has pointed out that Microsoft had founding contracts first.

When Woz pointed out that these were in truth, the originating paper of a failed company no longer in existence and not the originating papers of the current Apple company, the value should have plummeted. It truly is nothing more than an autograph. Ron Wayne never had a stake in the company that exists today.

Heretic! Steve Jobs invented inventing! Ergo, everything that has ever been invented or will be invented was/is done by Steve Jobs!
