It's important to understand that Peter Thiel is incredibly stupid.

But that does beg the question - what is it about our current system (western civilisation) that seems to reward the incredibly stupid.

Though I do wonder if you looked at all people with a net worth of over say 100M whether the proportion of incredibly stupid people would be the same as the general population or whether we just have so many incredibly stupid people some of them will get lucky.
