At least, $20M dollars exists, while 210 IQ is mathematically nonsense -- it means "one out of several trillions", which exceeds the human population. You would have to colonize the entire galaxy, and then be the smartest human in that galaxy. If even that is not enough, I am giving up.

Or the distribution could be leptokurtic like almost everything in the real world. Also galaxies are bigger than you think.

You took those trillions literally, it's not meant like that. It's a general observation on how abstract the measuring is.
