People who are at the top of whatever they do also have many other forms of income-- consultancies, speaking engagement, board positions, but also often get paid better.

...and except for media celebs are usually not in the public limelight. Being in the public limelight frequently stinks.

That depends very much on what they do and what "at the top" means.

There are few professions where those in the upper levels can command the kind of auxiliary income that a high profile former politician can. Even in fields like tech, it's not usually the case except for in the US.
