"Passion creates wealth?" Yeah, and "inspiration" creates sunlight.

Risks don't equal rewards. If they did, they wouldn't be risks. They may earn rewards, but as WRCU2 points out, they may also cost you dearly.

There's a real risk involved in attributing the value which products gain in production (whether it's rebuilding a house, or sewing a shoe) to entirely subjective and intangible traits of those in charge. It devalues the work and materials involved (and likely the product itself), and grossly overvalues the contribution of a few overseers. If this kind of delusion persists, it can embolden the company to abandon/outsource any real production and focus on selling their "greatness" alone, like so many clothing companies which now only sell licenses to affix their labels. Just because somebody obtained money doesn't mean they produced anything of value in exchange for it.
