Ronald Gerald Wayne, born on May 17, 1934, is a retired American businessman known for his work in the electronics industry. He is most famous for co-founding Apple Computer Company (now Apple Inc.) alongside Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs on April 1, 1976. Wayne played a pivotal role in Apple’s early days, designing the first logo, drafting the partnership agreement, and creating the Apple I manual. However, he sold his 10% stake in the company for $800 just two weeks after its inception due to financial risk concerns. Today, that stake would be worth over $100 billion. In addition to his work with Apple, Wayne was an engineer at Atari Inc. and contributed to the development of the first slot machine. Despite his brief tenure at Apple, Wayne’s contributions to the company’s foundation and early development remain noteworthy.
