I've known multiple "employees" who have gotten 10X that.
Some of the stories:
- In 3 years before a big IPO to turn around sales at a non-tech company.
- A few 10x (100x?) engineers who joined Apple around 2000 and 2001, sticking around for the long ride up.
- Junior Engineer (~Employee #30) at a big ERP company that had a massive IPO a few years later.
In most of the cases they were expecting "new house" money rather than "new life" money. In all the cases, they are still doing roughly the same jobs before the windfall. In all but the last case they were very talented workaholics surrounded by similar minded folks. Of course they also lucked into the right opportunity.
