Perhaps because they enjoy academia far more than money making?
Some people like Grigori Perelman [0] are just not interested in money or fame, or both.

- lotsofpulp 7y agoI’m not aware of Perelman publishing a “a pattern that generates superior risk-adjusted returns". That type of information is worth millions, and there are many investment firms offering very lucrative positions to those that can identify a pattern that generates superior risk-adjusted returns. Outside of very rare outliers, it doesn’t seem reasonable to assume that information that will generate outsized returns will be publicly available.
