After working for awful pay for 4 years, I may have a chance the retire

I’m a 26 year old who took a SWE job at a startup that will be IPOing later this year. As you can guess the pay was awful compared to everyone working in big tech, but I wasn’t smart enough to get passed those interviews. However, my pre ipo stock is worth over 1m now as of the last funding rounds valuation. So at IPO, I’ll be a free man. Will I have enough to never work again if I move to LCOL and invest it?
