Originally Ragtime was popular in St. Louis and New Orleans when it originated during the early part of the 20th century (1900's). Later it was revived, first in the 40's, then again in the 50's, and finally in the 70's when lots of new recordings of old Ragtime standards came out. For example, the movie The Sting featured Scott Joplin's The Entertainer which went on to become #3 on the Billboard top 100. This in turn led to a Ragtime revival (yet again) but by then it was widespread.
Music as a profession is neither easy nor simple. No matter how well or popular you are, you will have a hard time making a living with music. You need to plan and manage your career wisely. Being a professional music artist means that you need to be dedicated and work hard for your fans, your industry and for yourself. You will be able to make money by selling your music, signing contracts and collaborating with others.
Once ragtime was fused with slave music and blues forms, jazz started to sprout up. First came the big bands (Duke Ellington, Count Basie). These were for dancing to. Then came be-bop. This was "musician's music" (Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins, Thelonious Monk)

It is impossible to pinpoint one person that "founded" ragtime music. Scott Joplin certainly made it popular and was one of the most well known rag players.
Ragtime music originated from African-American communities in the late 19th century, descending from the jigs and march music played by black bands. It began as dance music in the red-light districts in cities such as St Louis and New Orleans, before becoming a popular music genre published as sheet music for piano. An example of popular ragtime music is the 1899 publication of the song 'Maple Leaf Rag' by ragtime composer Scott Joplin.
Blues came first, which led to Ragtime music, which led to Swing music, which led to Cool Jazz.
