Other folks already chimed in, but yeah $1-3M depending on how everything ends up.
After taxes and everything, it’s not “enough” to never need to work again but yes, I would say I’m very fortunate to not have money as the concern as long as I’m not irresponsible with it.
The point was more that it easily could’ve been another $0 and in theory, the company could fail taking that $1-3M down considerably.
The salary most HNers make is way above the median and is enough to live a very comfortable life. I honestly can’t tell you if the money was worth the personal pain of the last 10 or so years, truly I don’t think it is.
