That clearly depends on how super is "super-intelligent". For a trivial example, imagine an AI which can successfully trade in the global financial markets.
What happens if it doesn't want to - if it decides to do digital art or start life in another galaxy?
That's the thing, a self-aware intelligent thing isn't bound to do the tasks you ask of it, hence a poor ROI. Humans are already such entities, but far cheaper to make, so a few who go off and become monks isn't a big problem.
You give it proper incentives :-)
Or, even simpler X-)
Nope, remember, we're talking about a super-intelligent entity.
