Ronald Gerald Wayne (born May 17, 1934) is a retired American electronics industry worker. He co-founded Apple Computer (now Apple Inc.) with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak on April 1, 1976. Wayne served as the new venture's administrative supervisor. Unfortunately, the oft-forgotten third founder of Apple sold his 10 percent share of the fledgling company only 12 days after it was founded for $800, plus an additional $1,500 payout later that year. That share would be worth more than $60 billion in 2014. In a 2011 interview with Bloomberg Television, the now-80-year-old Wayne said he had no regrets.

Steve Jobs got to know Ronald Wayne at Atari where they both worked before they, along with Wozniak, founded Apple Computer. Wayne drew the first Apple logo, wrote the three founder's original partnership agreement, and wrote the Apple I manual. After leaving Apple, Wayne resisted Jobs' attempts to bring him back, remaining at Atari until 1978. He later joined Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and then an electronics company in Salinas, California.
