There are many well-learned and hard-working people in this world that will take 10 years to earn such an amount of money, and they will still be considered to have a well-paid job. (At least, in The Netherlands.)
There are also thousands of barely literate trogs that earn millions a year just for running and jumping or grunting or whatever.
Each career and trade has its own standards set by how society values it.
Neither education, intelligence, or dilligence is a guarantee of prosperity.

In this case the billing rate at least is a function of all three plus experience and earned reputation, not how well he shakes his rear.
