Nike was a rinky dink start up at the time. It was a lot more likely that that 10% would be worthless than worth billions.
On the other end of the spectrum is the dude who turned down $60k cash to paint a mural from Facebook in 2005 and instead took stock options. He got about $200 mil from that deal.
his cut would be worth billions TODAY. Yeah, he definitely lost at least millions, but not billions. he never would have held onto the 10% longer than the 80's
