Best Answer

He thought it would be in his and his brothers (Wilbur who just died) best intrest if they were to sell the company. They never wanted making money or growing into a large business to be the highlight of their career, rather they enjoyed having fun inventing and flying the aeroplane. Their main starting goal was to be known as the inventors of the airplane with no incentive of money. Also without Wilbur, Orville did not want to hassle with patent suits. This is why Orville sold the company and decided to retire in leisure.
