Well I am bit biased because 2/14 of my PhD class, 10 years after defending, they are >50M worth, by leveraging their expertise.
I can accept the argument that a unicorn startup might have higher tail monetary benefit compared to a PhD. But a startup job will not open as many research job opportunities as a PhD. These are typically the highest paid individual contributor jobs in companies.
Of course if managerial track is your thing, you should probably not waste your time doing a PhD.
