I have read somewhere that 90% of the People who receive ESOP are never able to benefit from it? (Company not doing well hence never able to sell it). Etc
Real? Yes. Worthy? Maybe not unless you got lucky

Yes they are real. Though it depends a lot on luck whether you will make money or not but if u do, it can be a lot more than your annual ctc. When Zomato ipoed, almost all techies who have been there for more than 3-4 years made good cash, most of them more than 1cr. And the more senior ones even 5cr.
