Egon invented their gear, and do remember that the other two WERE scientists...and it is a movie. But yeah, that's a pretty hefty initial investment. But they could afford it - all three of them were professors before they were Ghostbusters, and I'd like to think Egon has a few patents out there. Still, they owned the business, so their "salary" was dependent on what the business made. When you think about it, the only one taking home a regular paycheck was Winston.
