There are better visas and even green cards if you're wealthy.

Exactly. You can literally buy a green card with a ~$500K “investment”. No need to jump through H-1B hoops.

That's more than what you would need if you were hiring for a prevailing wage position.

[ramarnat]

Yes, but the prevailing wage threshold would be lower than the investor visa, as will the commitments. The investor visa you have to show a plan, hire people etc.
