We have those. We tend to ignore them or call them kooks.
For good reason in (Large percentage) of cases. But I do feel that there are a few that are getting marginalized. Often because they are semi related to stuff that is politically unpopular.

David Shaw is the poster child of rich people who succeeded at breaking through the elitism into the scientific establishment, but he went through the whole PhD process before "settling" for becoming a finance billionaire.
