If this is your prime motivation, I think you'll be very disappointed.
A good programmer certainly can make a good salary.  But the road to
riches? Well that's actually relatively rare. Just look at the the Apple
Store or Google Play Store.  Thousands of games and apps and very few
small developers making the big dollars through it.  Some manage to get
lucky but most do not.

Really good programmers do it because they enjoy doing it, whether it's
the problem solving aspects, or maybe because they enjoy creating a
product that is useful to others.  While computer programming is a
learned skill, some have more aptitude and intuition for it than others.
 If you honestly enjoy it then you'll do fine.  If you don't find it
intellectually stimulating then you'll definitely struggle as far as a
career path goes.
