plum 3 [countable] informal something very good that other people wish they had, such as a good job or a part in a play
- The first job I had was a real plum.
In your context yes, the profits or benefits or rewards. The person who wrote the comment (quoted on Wiki) used “profited” in the previous sentence, so chose another rather colourful word (“plums”) to avoid the repetition, so there's a stylistic context.
… he was sufficiently of a businessman to have profited by it. In so many cases, inventions were not developed quickly and the plums went to other persons than the inventors.
