Most programmers get hardly any money but there is the odd ones that get quite rich from it.

It depends on what your programming....

If its a 3D game, you will absolutely 100% need math, no exceptions. You cant find the angle of of the other side of the triangle with just basic addition and subtraction.

If its something simple like a GUI program thats a text editor, then you in luck, and will only need simple math skills, but then again.

Go learn math.

They can code, but can they code well?

And yes, lots of things like image/sound processing, physics, and 3D graphics involve a lot of complex math. Some things you can write with only a basic understanding of math, but even then, you can use it to improve and benchmark your code.
