You make the mistake of assuming any of that matters.
You’re talking devotees of the LessWrong crowd. The self-proclaimed “rationalists”. They are quite literally a religious cult that worships AI. (I know this sounds deranged. That’s because it is deranged!) The money is beside the point to them. What matters is that they trigger the Singularity so that the Rococo Basilisk (I know that’s not the proper name: my artistic license number is MY0B) doesn’t torment their simulacra for eternity.
No. I’m not making any of that up. (Except that it’s Rocco’s Basilisk.)
