How many tens of millions of dollars were ploughed into SQLite?

If you take into account the fact that Richard Hipp is not a billionaire whilst his software is used in almost all devices on (and not-on) the planet, his stuff is used by countless of megacorporations, etc, etc, then by my calculations: not nearly enough.

His paycheck alone should be tens of millions of dollars.

He should be making so much money that if he'd drop a 100 dollar bill it wouldn't be worth his time to pick it up.
