Not really, the incentives for each are not binary values. There are bounties on the 10 millennium problems (that haven't been increased in 25 years), but there isn't much motivation beyond that. You get some street cred and your name in a prestigious journal. That's not-nothing but can't hold a candle to the potential fortunes of the market.
