>And yet here you are, worrying that you'll end up only slightly richer than people earning ~$1M per year.

onlyrealcuzzo is comparing 2 things:

* Being a founder and working mega hours and having no life (e.g. no spouse or kids) and having a decent chance of losing most of your money as the company fails.

* Working at FAANG and making a lot of money while not having to work too much.

onlyrealcuzzo is saying the second option is better.
