    Yes, although the veracity of the quote is uncertain; see here for discussion. This is the commonly-cited form that you'll find all over the Internet:

    Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man wants to make a million dollars, then the best way would be to start his own religion.~ Lafayette Ron Hubbard

    The number of people who created countries can be counted on one hand, especially if they're successful.

    Simon Bolivar helped a lot of people do it, but did not reap much material reward for doing so, apart from being a rich criollo to begin with.

    Napoleon famously redrew the map of Europe, and most people would call him successful in many regards. Sama having a Napoleon complex would be on brand.

    Any other examples ?

    Do the founders of religions usually get much out of it? Jesus was nailed to a cross.
