These people work prominently on open-source Node packages that are used by millions of users. Unlike any other OSS developers they don't make a life of it. They have a day job and still make it possible to work. They could have backed-off of money since the dawn of Node popularity but they didn't. This video youtu.be/MO8hZlgK5zc (point made at 17:18) explains these economies.
Just to name a few: T.J. Halowaychuk, Douglas Wilson, Dominic Tarr, Jordan Harband and James Haliday. The most underrated persons that I just love.
Thanks for sharing! Any indication why you look up to them? It might help others understand if they want to follow them or not :)
