I'd love to know the actual numbers and the job involved.
Thinking in terms of developer salaries (just a hypothetical tangent here, there's nothing saying this lady [I assume lady based on the name?] is a developer), 3x is a pretty huge spread between one employee and the rest of them without some sort of jump into a clearly more senior level position, even when the others are all recent grads.
Looking at some specific 3x multipliers:
$100k->$33k
$150k->$50k
$225k->$75k
$300k->$100k
If it were a developer job (and again, there's no specific indication it is) she's either making out like a bandit (consider that she said she works for a 30 person startup, not Google or Facebook) or her peers are really getting shafted relative to market rates.
