Ronald Wayne Parodies $300 Billion Blunder in Busch Light Ad

Ronald Wayne, the often-overlooked third co-founder of Apple alongside Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, played a pivotal role in the company's founding in 1976 by contributing vital business expertise and securing a 10% equity stake. However, Wayne famously sold his stake back to his co-founders for just $800 (plus $1,500 to relinquish all claims), a decision that would become one of the most costly in business history, as that stake would now be worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Unlike Jobs and Wozniak, Wayne never became a millionaire and instead led a modest life, later running a stamp business and retiring in Nevada. Despite this, Wayne has expressed no regret, noting that his decision was based on personal circumstances and risk aversion at the time. His story has become synonymous with missed financial opportunities and is now being humorously referenced in a new Busch Light ad campaign, where Wayne pokes fun at his mistake to promote the return of Busch Light Apple. The campaign leverages Wayne's tale of 'regret' to connect with fans and highlight the importance of seizing opportunities.
