I'd argue that people aren't required to do software development as
their sole occupation anyway and that even if they try no one is
guaranteed any particular result: What if you start a company making
proprietary software and it's a complete flop? Free software doesn't
change that risk but I digress. 
If people like the project they'll give money because they'll want to
see it continue. Maybe it won't not enough to become a billionaire and
maybe they'll just have to settle for "just" being a millionaire
instead. Look at Red Hat.
