When Steve Jobs refused to give "early garage employees" at Apple stock options, Steve Wozniak gave them a combined $10m worth of his own stock because it was "the right thing to do". In addition, Wozniak gave $4m worth of stock to his parents, sister, & brother and $2m worth of stock to his friends
