Do you think Bill Gates would have started Microsoft knowing he would never make more than one of his shipping clerks?

Do you think the bankers and investors who put money in along the way would have done so knowing that anything over a few thousand a year would be confiscated?

I worked for a startup about 20 years back. I worked strictly for stock- -no pay. Which helped that cash-poor company. Several years ago they IPOed and it paid off. Do you think I would have done that for nothing?
