Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak gives incredibly zen response to infamous decision to sell his $321bn Apple stock for tiny percentage of that

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has given an incredibly zen response to his decision to sell his $321 billion Apple stock for a tiny percentage of that.

Wozniak is best known for co-founding Apple Computer all the way back in 1976 with Steve Jobs.

He’s accomplished a lot in his life, but some would say his decision to sell his $321 billion in Apple stock was a mistake.

Luckily for the 75-year-old, he has a very relaxed attitude about it all.

Steve Wozniak sold his Apple stock back in the 1980s

There’s no doubting that Wozniak is a wealthy man, but he’s not in the upper echelons of tech billionaires like Bill Gates.

It was suggested online that he made a blunder by selling his Apple stock way back in the 1980s.

At the time, he had a 8.7 percent in the company’s shares – worth over $321 billion if he owned it today.

Had he not sold, he would be the second richest person in the world, behind Elon Musk.

The thought of losing out on that would make anyone wince.

But for Wozniak, he has a very chilled philosophy about the whole thing.

Replying to a post about his decision on BlueSky, the 75-year-old said he was ok with the way things played out.

“I gave all my Apple wealth away because wealth and power are not what I live for,” he wrote.

“I have a lot of fun and happiness.

“I funded a lot of important museums and arts groups in San Jose, the city of my birth, and they named a street after me for being good.

“I now speak publicly and have risen to the top. I have no idea how much I have but after speaking for 20 years it might be $10M plus a couple of homes.

“I never look for any type of tax dodge. I earn money from my labor and pay something like 55 percent combined tax on it.

“I am the happiest person ever. Life to me was never about accomplishment, but about happiness, which is smiles minus frowns.

“I developed these philosophies when I was 18-20 years old and I never sold out.”

We tip our hats to you, Mr. Wozniak.

Most of us would be quite a bit grumpier about the thought of losing out on $321 billion.

How would Steve Jobs have reacted?

We can’t help but wonder if Wozniak’s fellow Apple co-founder Steve Jobs would have reacted in a similar manner.

Given what we know about his spending habits, we have a hard time imagining it.

He once gave his secretary a $35,000 Jaguar, in addition to giving Porsches out to his employees.

Jobs was also a big fan of superyachts and private jets.

We’re not quite sure how all of that vibes with Wozniak’s philosophy, but hey, that might be above our pay grade.

We’re glad that Steve Wozniak is happy in life, regardless of how much he’s netted as an Apple co-founder.
