Equity is not proportional to salary. Perhaps only after you control for "time-to-join", andwhether you are a founder/investor/employee, but definitely not without that. On another note, there's something about a disparity on ownership and %founders that seems more profound than the salary IMO (with the caveat that it is hard to study this controlling for the right things).
