There's no guarantee his next business will be successful -- but there's no guarantee that those kinds of Google positions are going to keep existing, either. On the other hand, there's also the chance that his next business could be massively more successful because of lessons learned, and open the way to much higher amounts than he could have been earning at Google were he still there. Overall, I think it was a massive win for him. And it may have been more beneficial to society than the work he was doing at Google.
