Hard to understand how anyone "earns" billions of $. That is such an immense number.

These fortunes depend on placing an idea or a product successfully into a huge market.

IIRC, Sting earns $60K US per day for Every Breath You Take. One song. Probably wrote it in a day. And this is peanuts to what the billionaires bring in.

May only be $2K per day:
