Steve Jobs once told Oracle founder Larry Ellison to not buy Apple

 Larry Ellison planned to buy Apple for about five billion dollars then. Steve Jobs rejected this offer, preferring to return through NeXT. Jobs insisted on leading Apple from the moral high ground, not for financial gain. Ellison learned leadership from Jobs’s decision to prioritize principles over profit. This choice ultimately led Apple to become the world’s most valuable company. Larry Ellison planned to buy Apple for about five billion dollars then.
