Apple’s Founding Documents to Be Auctioned for $4 Million: A Piece of Tech History Up for Grabs

Apple’s Origin Story Goes Under the Hammer

Apple’s legendary beginnings are set to make headlines again. Next year, Christie’s in New York will auction the original company creation papers of Apple Inc. for an eye-watering $4 million (about Rs 35.7 crore). These aren’t just any documents—they include the first-ever partnership contract signed by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ron Wayne. If you’ve ever wanted to own a piece of tech history, this is as close as you’ll get—unless you invent a time machine and crash their garage in 1976. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, Apple Founders

The Documents That Changed the World

This historic auction doesn’t stop at the partnership contract. It also includes the paper that officially ended Ron Wayne’s short-lived stake in Apple—the infamous decision that cost him billions. You have to admire Wayne’s foresight: he left before the headaches of iPhone releases and MacBook dongles. (Or maybe he’s still kicking himself.)

For collectors, Apple enthusiasts, and lovers of all things tech, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. These documents don’t just represent a company—they mark the very beginning of the world’s most valuable tech giant. Who knew a few signatures could someday be worth more than most people’s dream homes?
