📰 The Apple founding document to be auctioned for $2–4 million

📜 Christie’s will auction the three-page 1976 partnership contract that launched Apple Computer. The auction will be held on January 23, 2026. Both documents will be offered as a single lot: the original Apple founding agreement and Wayne’s withdrawal papers.

📊 The document is estimated at $2–4 million and could become the most expensive artifact in the company's history. The contract was signed by Steve Jobs (with a 45% stake), Steve Wozniak (45%), and Ron Wayne (10%). Just days later, Wayne withdrew from the partnership and sold his share for $800.

Had he kept that 10%, it would be worth about $409 billion today...
