If he were really that smart, he would know he gonna make tons of money if he did math finance, but he doesn't. Don't trust people who don't know basic utility maximization.

T. Tao could get a PM job at RenTec learn the ropes for a couple years, branch out in his own. With his pedigree, pension funds and insurance companies would be lining up to invest in his fund. I could see Tao running his own shop with $5b in AUM in under four years. He could become a billionaire from money management alone.

UCLA is a public school, so you can look up his salary (last time I checked it was over 400k). That doesn't include awards like Macarthur genius grant, etc. I'm sure he could make more somehow, but I'm guessing that's a pretty comfortable life for a guy who seems to like thinking about math 14 hours a day.
