Sure, it's debatable, but 'genius' is a non-standardized poorly defined opinion, anyway.

I don't care if he's a genius or he isn't. He's done very well for himself, and that's praiseworthy by itself without needing arbitrary titles stacked onto it.

Eh. Doing well for others is praiseworthy. Doing well for yourself is it's own reward, and neither deserves nor needs praise.
