Hah. Most founders are broke. Sure, you own an equity slice in a business, but the reality is that you pay yourself a pittance, and your best hope is to be acquired for a six figure (not six zero) sum after a decade of back-breaking labour.

The best hope is the entire point of starting up. If your best hope from the start is a six figure buyout and your goals are financial then don't bother starting.
