tl;dr: you can have big positive impact but 'fail' financially.
The inverse is also true: you can have little impact but attain big wealth/success.
Moreover, due to competitive pressures this lack of correlation happens is quite common. If impact requires a mix of skill+luck+timing and success requires skill+luck+timing, then impact+success is (mathematically speaking) exponentially harder.
