It probably is the case that they did discover something (whether an algorithm or good business model via legal tax evasion). Imagine if einstein went into financial trading instead of physics. I think what regular people fail to understand, there are people out there with the intellect to make hundreds of millions. Meaning, they can understand society on an abstract level that makes good business opportunities obvious. Most will never interact with a single person like this in their whole life.
