Wayne held the original Apple company agreement, but sold it for $500. What was he thinking?
It is funny that this news article has the WRONG auction price. It was sold for $1.6 million, not $1.3 million.

- computator 8y agoRegarding the wrong auction price, I wonder if the $300K discrepancy was Sotheby's fee, so the article is trying to say that Wayne might have pocketed $1.3 million? (Or it could be sloppy journalism.) I thought I noticed another error in the article where it said that Wayne "gave up his 10 percent of Apple for just $2,300", but Sotheby's scan of the amendment to the contract (the 4th page) says "Wozniak and Jobs agree to pay and deliver to Wayne, the sum of eight hundred dollars ($800)". That part wasn't an error. The Sotheby's Catalogue Note at the same site says that Wayne "received another $1,500 when Apple found the funding they needed shortly thereafter", which would bring the total he received to $2,300.
