What industries do nine-figure startup exits usually happen in ?

what industries or verticals tend to produce those $100M+ outcomes where founders actually take home eight or nine figures personally? i know tech is the obvious answer but are there non-tech industries where people are still getting to those outcomes? maybe even traditional industries.
