Steve Wozniak says he didn’t cofound Apple to ‘make money’—he only did it because he was rejected by HP 5 times, and for years his pay was just $50
Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, stated that his primary motivation for starting the company was not financial gain but a passion for engineering and a desire for recognition from his peers. He revealed that he was repeatedly rejected by Hewlett-Packard before co-founding Apple with Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne. Wozniak also mentioned that he gradually sold off most of his Apple stock over the years, opting for a modest weekly paycheck instead of accumulating vast wealth, believing that an excessive focus on money could corrupt one's values.
