I will note that davexuke is right, and further, these people do *not * necessarily have PhDs. There are some jobs that want PhDs, but not many. The math required to do finance is exceptionally basic as compared to what a major learns in a majority of cases. The job has its own twists sure, and it’s a lot of work, but it’s different.

Doing a PhD in science without a fairly exceptional interest in science seems like a bad idea, because nearly always, there is a better option.
