Start doing interships at companies that look good on your cv and pay well enough (Google, Facebook, etc). Get hired at one of these companies after you finished studying (or if you can see it catch one of the up and comming companies at the time). Invest as much as you can into stocks (and if you're adventurous a small fraction into the main crypto currencies). After 10-15 years you will have a pretty high chance of having $2M+ in your accounts (just 401k at e.g. Google will give you 416250 without any returns and after 15 years it's ~800k with 7% returns). Even if you enjoy your live you'll be able to have no problem getting there if you don't spend your money on stupid things like leasing/new cars or overly expensive vacations. Everything you save in the early years compounds so much that you'll likely have no problems spending much more after 5-10 years when really your investments start to bring in the same or more as your salary. Startups are for lottery. So if you have saved a nice amount you can start playing it and see if you can get to the next level and get to 10M+. But otherwise big (and better companies on the way to get there) will be a much much safer bet.
