I have an above 140 iq and I certainly am not rolling in dough. I suppose there is a higher iq where you can become wealthy but I have not attained to that yet. Too smart for ditch digging, and not smart enough to be in charge of a company. And I rather prefer to work alone, I would question why something is done a certain way. Say that could be the reason we're not rich. We question the methods too much.

I agree with you. I have a "genius" friend who having trouble to fit in into the system/society because he sees the world in a different ways. He had changed jobs so many times and had trouble to stay put at one company for a long time. The reason was his observation sometimes just annoyed other people although he might be true most of the time.

I don't think it's true either. I have a higher than average iq, but it doesn't help me to get good jobs.
I don't think it makes much of a difference really.

for me its not base on intelligence itself but have some factor that will make somebody rich and famous, one factor maybe you must have a great common sense in you whatever you do in your life plus hard work and strong motivation,intelligence for is only a plus to succeed more.
