Wayne told Bloomberg that over the last 40 years, he has kept most of his savings in gold.
Since Apple went public in 1980, shares of the company have risen more than 20,000%; over the same period, gold is up 107%.
Said another way, 10% of Apple is worth about $65 billion today, while $800 of gold purchased in 1980 would be worth about $1750 today.
