They bought a sheet of paper for 200 large.

Yeah, but it’s the mounting and framing where they really get you.

Hard to believe he ever got hired anywhere.

A job application filled out by former Apple CEO Steve Jobs in 1973 has sold for a whopping $222,400 at auction in London (via iMore).

The rare employment questionnaire went up for sale on February 24 with the auction lasting one month. Jobs filled out the application in hopes of landing a job after dropping out of Reed College, which he attended for around six months. A year later in 1974, Jobs joined Atari as a technician, where he later joined forces with Steve Wozniak to create Apple in 1976.

In the document, which previously sold for $175,000 three years ago, Jobs highlighted "English lit" as his major while also listing "electronics tech" and "design engineer" as special abilities and interests. Jobs also listed his skills in computers and calculators.

The listing for the document says it is in "very good condition," with "light staining and old clear tape to the top edge." To prove it's the real deal written by Steve Jobs himself, it comes with letters and certificates of authenticity.

I dont' understand the last words ... after " digital ... "

 

[MacHead84]

...and you thought the Mac Pro is expensive?

 

[BernieL]

Have to love the line for "Transportation: Possible, but not probable!"

 

[atomwork]

Wow. That’s a lot!

At least it's unique and physical versus that 65M NFT artwork that anyone can have digitally.

 

[Shirasaki]

Such Apple fan can’t die harder.

 

[ElectricPotato]

I know he’s an icon but that is crazy money.

Crazy money is the best money. Let us revel in the warm glow of monetary flexing by people we don't know for things we don't care about.

 

[andreiru]

I wonder who bought this important document.

 

[Robertus]

Just imagine being a boss in 1973 looking at this application by a young man named Steve Jobs:

"No phone number, address just Reed College? How the heck to contact him? I'm not hiring this loser."

Toss Jobs' application into the trash bin.

Your honor, exhibit A in our case arguing there is economic inequality in our society. Someone paid $222000 for this crap just because they could.
