Just like when Atari told Steve Jobs they would pay him $750 plus $100 for each chip he could cut out of the design for Breakout.

Jobs went to Steve Wozniak and told him to do all the work. Wozniak ended up not sleeping for 4 nights straight cutting out so many chips that Atari paid Jobs ~$6000. Jobs told Wozniak that he only got $600 and paid him $375 and pocketed the rest.
