Scientists have been looking for funding since before the scientific method existed. Leonardo Da Vinci had patrons

Hey, some of the most famous scientists were rich as fuck and were doing research basically as a hobby.

Of course. If you have to work all day there's not much time left for sciencing

Maybe (honest maybe) it was more the reverse; Some of the most richest people also enjoyed being scientists as a hobby.

In times when no one else could afford to play along, this could make you one of the most famous scientists.
