Ever see The Producers?
Germany has a nice, fat tax shelter setup to try and encourage its citizens to invest in film production. They changed the law in 2006 to stop people from abusing it for tax purposes, but there's no indication that Uwe Boll--who cuts corners and is dirty with this law, but is not technically stepping outside its boundaries--is getting fucked with by this. In other words, he can churn out utter shit day in and day out with little to no financial repercussions. Germany has his back if he can't afford the process. He's "successful" in the sense that someone with rich parents or someone that always comes out even when they gamble is successful.
His movies rarely scratch into a percentage of the original budget. He's "successful" because he lives in Germany, and thus can't technically fail.
