> they got into math for the love for mathematics rather than the love for tenure

They got into math for the love for mathematics but if they couldn't make a living from it (tenure) then they would have done something else just like everybody else who is not a starving artist. So, no, they won't celebrate it and neither would you if you were honest. (note also that starving has a short time limit before you die so "if all of it leads to some form of superabundance" won't work in that circumstance)
