Retired electronics industry worker Ronald Wayne has an estimated net worth of $300 thousand as of 2012. He is known to be one of the founders of Apple Computer (Apple Inc.) together with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. Eventually, he decided to give up his shares of the company for only $800.

After the trio founded Apple on April 1, 1976, it was Ronald Wayne who drew the original partnership agreement, the first Apple logo and the Apple I manual. April 12, 1976, he relinquished his stock in the company.

When he left Apple, he resisted any attempts made by Steve Jobs to bring him back to Apple. Also, he never had any Apple product until 2011. Currently, he holds 12 patents which never brought him money due to lack of capital. Apart from being an industry worker, Ronald Wayne is also an author. He wrote Adventures of an Apple Founder and Insolence of Office. He also appeared on Welcome to Macintosh which enabled him to discuss his experiences with Apple Computer as well as Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs.

Ronald Gerald Wayne was born on May 17, 1934  in Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.
