I don't think it is the same odds. The number of startups in which employee 500 gets rich is vanishingly small. The number in which employee 3 gets rich is higher. On the other hand, you'd need 500/3 such startups to counter the first kind. I don't know what the actual numbers are.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply employee 500. Employee #10, for example or even employee #50 could still do substantially well (similar to what you allude to in saying "the number in which employee 3 gets rich is higher")
