If it was not intended sarcastically, then I should say that in the US 
inventors are usually thought of as poor geniuses working in basements, 
and in reality most tend to work for companies.  Some however really do 
work in basements.  I did.;-)

One of the strengths of US culture is that it is generally accepted that 
you can work in a basement and invent something and become rich.  If you 
attempt it, you are considered more credible in the US, though still not 
very credible.... it is considered a respectable madness.

I need to conform on the rich description.....
