That’s true, but the entrepreneur owns some piece of an income-generating asset. If the exec stops working, their income immediately goes to zero, and if they didn’t save or get some equity, their wealth could be near zero too. The entrepreneur can stop working, but still be left with both income and a valuable asset (their piece of the business).

In addition, he can use his constant cash flow as collateral to take out a loan to invest in same income generating asset. And the variance for the exec is much lower than for the entrepreneur (failure rate much much higher for startup founders). So it's not apples and oranges.
