could you add "employeers on a startup" in that list? What's the ratio of people that made good fortune (500k+) on a startup, with those that just got scraps, and an ok paycheck, for a lot of work, or nothing at all.

In the 90s, I heard it was 4.7% of computer (I guess that's software) startups made the fortune 500.

The odds of a startup taking off are about one in three or four, which isn't all that bad.
