Apple cofounders Steve Jobs And Steve Wozniak are household names.

But there's a third, "lost" Apple cofounder: Ron Wayne, 76, who owned a 10% stake in the company that he sold just 11 days after it came into existence for $800. Today, it would be worth $22 billion.

"I felt that the way these guys were going, they would bulldoze their way through anything to make this company succeed, but it was going to be a very rough ride and if I wasn't careful, I'd end up the richest man in the cemetery," Wayne tells CNN, explaining why he wanted out.

"Unfortunately, my whole life has been a day late and a dollar short," he previously told Mercury News.

At least with $800.00 he could buy himself a few beers to cry in.
