As far as i know, the Y2K problem was first raised by a Canadian programmer, Peter de Jager in the New York Times(correct me if i'm wrong). He made a very good living out of it, and has just sold his site, www.year2000.com for 10 million. So he did make A LOT of cash out of it. Except he had to pay half of it in canadian taxes. Oh well.
