Perhaps I misunderstand you, but I imagine those three companies have minted quite a few IC millionaires (let alone management). But maybe high single-digit millions isn't what you consider to be "really rich", dunno.

How would that compare with, say, the average IC (not management) employee of an investment bank or a hedge fund?


It's not a comparison, people either got "really rich" working for a big tech company, or they didn't.


> It's not a comparison

Trying to set a threshold for what counts as "really rich" is the reason for the comparison I was asking about. My sense is that the average employee of an investment bank or hedge fund is a lot richer than the average employee of Apple, Facebook, or Google.


Okay, point taken.
