Why would that be a consideration?
We'd all hope so, but in practice it only depends on the board of Rubin's company and their goals.

In a startup company, everyone should be on the same page. A founder with FU money is not on the same page as an engineer risking 2-3 years for a shot at FU money. I'm almost certain that investors would look at an FU money founder differently than a ramen founder.
As a startup engineer, I have done this. There are startups. There are corporations. Both have their place and their appeal. But I'll avoid corporate startups.
