If intelligence matters at all to making money, the wealth + intelligence combo probably beats wealth on its own.

Unless, of course, intelligence is "bad" for the wealthy and "good" for the poor, but I doubt that's the case...

Sure - wealth + intelligence can be highly lucrative e.g. Bill Gates

But intelligence without wealth can easily be beaten by average intelligence plus wealth and status. E.g. Trump

Just to be clear - I'm comparing two billionaires who started off as millionaires, and suggesting that Gates is of above average intelligence whereas Trump is not.
