Richard Dawkins came up with some brilliant science in his work in genetics in terms of one genotype affecting another. This inspired a great many other geneticists to pursue his ideas and that's one of the best rewards for a scientist. It's all very well to study sea urchins for your own curiosity but if you don't excite the curiosity in anyone else then the science is probably not very interesting. Dawkins' work was definitely interesting and thus the interest from other scientists.
Since that time he has been working assiduously toward making himself irrelevant with a never-ending campaign for atheism. Fundamental to the concept of faith is that you can't prove the existence of God with science but neither can you disprove his existence. But Dawkins is too smart for that.
He has got precisely nowhere with his campaign but he has sold some books. Even if nothing else, pushing atheism has been a moneymaker for him. However, it hasn't been enough of a moneymaker and that's why he branches out now into romance novels. They're so easy to write that you can crank one out in an afternoon and get right back to a busy evening of Bible bashing.
Then he realized he wasn't taking full advantage of his captive audience. Instead of simply selling atheism to them, why not sell Mary Kay Cosmetics.
You asked why Dawkins drives a pink Cadillac and now you know.
