startup gets you a yacht if you are the lead engineer or the one who starts it. if you are one of the initial employees maybe you get some shares that you can't cash right away and a somewhat a better position and possibly a thanks.

I know personally people with a 3 digit employee number at a company (hard to call it startup at that point) who are millionaires. Anything pre-IPO is serious money, the first 100 employees usually in the high 7 figures.
