If he was managing other people's wealth, he probably got a lot of wealth under management so his cut was that much bigger. It's not likely he got that return on his investments.

Reply to Fresh chemical clues emerge for the unique sound of Stradivari violins | Another study found older, high-quality violins produce stronger combination tones by Hrmbee
