I think it should be noted that a lot of people do startups for reasons other than money. I was recently down in SF for an interview at a YC startup and later in the day, the two founders shared with me their salaries at their previous jobs. One was making 900k a year and the other was making 450k a year, but they ultimately decided to leave their big tech jobs to start their startup.
