I also don't see how they did. Did they work so much harder as to 'deserve' a ten to hundred fold turnout of their investment?

Yes, working that way will come with equity, but it's table scraps rather than a full meal. If you want the full meal, you need to work on something before the company is anything. If you wait until they can pay you, that's your compensation.
