Buy Apple for $2 Billion? Naaaaah…?

Nah. That’s what then GE chairman and CEO Jack Welch said to the offer to buy Apple for $2 Billion dollars back in 2006.

This info was given to The New York Post by Bob Wright in an interview about his book The Wright Stuff: From NBC to Autism Speaks.

Cast your minds back to 1996 – Antonio Banderas married Melanie Griffith, the first flip phone, (the Motorola StarTAC,) goes on sale, Apple was having a hard time, and the CEO was Michael Spindler.

From the Sauce:

“The stock price was $20, and [Spindler] was explaining he couldn’t get the company moving fast enough and the analysts were on his case,” Wright told The Post in an interview on Tuesday. “He was sweating like mad and everybody said, ‘We can’t manage technology like that.’ We had a chance to buy it for $2 billion.”

Apple would certainly have been a different (if still existent?) company if that sale had gone through. Instead, Apple bought NeXT for $427 million and Steve Jobs returned to lead the company in 1997. YAY STEVE JOBS! Then came the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad, allllll the i’s that we have come to know and love.

Right now,  Apple is worth more than $600 billion clams. Lotsa clams made between then and now.
