There is a documentary in which the narrator stands in front of a relatively small house and points to the garage. He says that in 197? Steve Jobs hired him to help him move Apple out of his garage. Jobs told him he’d pay him $2 per hour or alternatively, he would give him a share of Apple stock (maybe it was 10 shares). The narrator took the money. As he stood there, he stated that the Apple shares would now be worth millions of dollars, after considering the splits, dividends and growth in value.

Steve Jobs hardly ever delivered on stock in early Apple when it was offered in lieu of cash.
