Chris Sawyer made at very least $10 million on Roller Coaster Tycoon, which he developed with only the aid of an artist.

He programmed it (in assembly language) and only after it was completed did he go out and get a publishing deal.

I'm sure his take could have been better (especially today, having the kind of distribution that Minecraft enjoys), but he surely did all right. It's a game programmer's dream story.
