    Hey, some of the most famous scientists were rich as fuck and were doing research basically as a hobby.

      Of course. If you have to work all day there’s not much time left for sciencing

      Maybe (honest maybe) it was more the reverse; Some of the most richest people also enjoyed being scientists as a hobby.

      In times when no one else could afford to play along, this could make you one of the most famous scientists.
