Other than elderly rock stars selling their back catalogues, that is. The answer seems to be musical instrument sales, guitar in particular: Did Everyone Buy a Guitar in Quarantine or What?
In conversations with Rolling Stone, instrument sellers Sweetwater, Guitar Center, and Reverb reported a bang-up year for online sales. In 2020, online-only store Sweetwater surpassed $1 billion in revenue for the first time in the company’s 42-year history. It also served over 1.5 million customers in 2020, up from a million in 2019. CEO Chuck Surack says shipping out 15,000 to 20,000 orders a day was normal for most of the year, resulting in about a 40 percent increase from the previous year. And when “Black Friday stuff picked up” the numbers increased to 22,000 to 24,000 orders a day, peaking at about 30,000.
I hope this doesn't mean I have to go back to teaching beginners again...

I wouldn't worry about it too much. You only have to teach them how to strum chords.
You could give advanced lessons to the few that can do it in rhythm.
