In cash terms, that isn't remotely close to true. The chances of making a fortune as the founder of a startup are vanishingly small, and as an employee, a tenth that. Work in an industry such as banking where compensation has a bonus element and you will do better than a hypothetical startup employee who participates in an IPO every year on that alone, and that's before you consider you'll get a good salary and work half as much.
