A dollar is not a dollar is not a dollar. It matters to me how I make my money. Getting lucky by winning the employee lottery at a hot startup is much less meaningful to me than making a large (but lesser) sum through a startup. If all you care about is racking up zeros in your bank account, then yes you missed out on FB. If you care about other things, then you're probably ok.
