Nah, precisely because we would cash out and settle for peaceful lives long before we'd become billionaires or even millionaires. It takes a certain type of person to begin earning millions and conclude "that's not nearly enough, I need this times a thousand". None of them are "good" people.

You don't usually just "begin earning millions", some businesses snowball to billion-dollar size quite quickly. Instagram had only a few dozen employees before being sold to Facebook for billions.

It happens, especially in tech, but I'd say it's still the exception to the norm.
