Unique technical skills generally aren't a great path to riches. The most uniquely skilled people in the world might be famous but they often aren't rich or at least not extremely rich.
Some combination of knowing what people want, being able to (directly or indirectly) organize people to create the thing, and knowing rich people willing to invest in your plan for doing it, is pretty the formula for most people gaining wealth in this society. There are other formulas but this is by far the most common and why fight the average if you're after success?
