No, Alexander Fleming did not become wealthy after discovering penicillin. Although his discovery in 1928 revolutionized medicine and led to the mass production of antibiotics, Fleming did not patent penicillin, believing it should be freely available. As a result, he did not profit financially from his discovery, and he continued to work as a researcher and professor throughout his life.
