I'd be interested to see if the Pareto distribution holds here as well, namely that 1% of employees (26) hold half the wealth ($10b).

20% of 20% of 20% (or 0.8%) of people will hold 80% of 80% of 80% (or 51.2%) of the wealth.
In binary, most significant(left most) bit is twice the magnitude of the previous bit. So that bit (or person) would contribute and get compensated accordingly.
Would also be similar to segment trees with each leaf node having a value of 1 with parents recursively summing the children?
Which is probably what you'd want in a high-performance firm, less everyone look at the absent top level extractors and it turn into a law firm.
Fortunately it doesn't take that much to get top talent, because so many other companies underpay. Jane Street only has to pay out a small fraction of their PnL and doesn't even need to have a non-compete.
And the equity holders would get diluted a bit when new employees are offered equity, but looking at the rate of profitability, each new employee more than earn their share in equity, even at the high end. Therefore, it is in fact, in the existing equity holder's interest to get diluted a bit to hire these employees, who would produce way more value (and thus increase the total value) compared to the loss in dilution!
