I think those hippies ended up joining a commune. That's what I heard anyway.

Just thinking the return that guy has

$142,000 invested at Apples IPO in 1984 would today be a split adjusted 1,092,000 shares valued at $184,000,000……not a bad ROI. Although like he said most people outside of the technology world at the time had zero idea what any of it was or would be, let alone the companies that would become the worlds most valuable 30 to 40 years later. Certainly easy to go back to the 80’s and say one would have bought up shares of Apple, Adobe, Microsoft & Oracle lol

​@@v4v819 trumpflation happened because of Trump's mismanagement of COVID, printing trillions of dollars. Biden got it down from 9.1% to 3%.

Apple’s history is too deep to dig out…

If he held his 26% today he would have a net worth of over 500 billion dollars.

So stock dilution affects the percentage owned, but not necessarily the stock price. When new stocks are offered and if he doesn't buy enough, then his percentage would drop, but his value of total stocks could go up. I think.

this is the problem that many people have when it comes to stocks, they don't sell once they've made a profit but continue to hold. Liquidate some of it once you make enough to live comfortably, don't keep betting

Jobs was extremy ungrateful to Markkula (and to so many other people); yes, Wozniak-Jobs were a great team, but without Markkula's initial investment and faith in them, it wouldn't happen simple as that.

I don't think he was ungrateful just because he hasn't mentioned his name anywhere. He was so driven by his desire to create great products he just could not think about anything else...
