2x normal salary isn't massive. Some startups get 5 mil investment, others get 10 — not a huge deal imo.

I wouldn't even say that's 2x a 'normal' salary. I'd say that's about the right range for senior talent with a proven history to execute. Pay peanuts, get monkeys. These folks want results, and they know the surefire way to get them.
