Airbnb IPO employee equity question

What employee number do you have to be at Airbnb to have made $100K+ from your equity?

I had an airbnb offer in first week of November. If I didn't require a visa transfer enabling me to join it pre ipo my equity would have been worth 4.5 million today. And I might have been employee #10k+

Really? That sounds crazy given your strike price for your option would have been pretty expensive that close to the IPO.

The last round of funding pre ipo that airbnb raised was at 18B. It's current market cap is 110B
