Do not be fooled into believing that because a man is rich he is necessarily smart. There is ample proof to the contrary.
~~ Julius Rosenwald ~~

Exactly true. I believe on an average more dummies than smart people become rich.

In this world, very rarely a highly educated, smart professional becomes filthy rich. My theory on this is that most highly educated professionals find it extremely hard to become filthy rich because in any recognized profession requiring high skills, there are usually professional bodies that issue code of conduct and ethics which the professionals are required to follow. But there are no such requirements for the average Joe. So the highly educated professional who may be very smart but has his or her hands tied by the code of conduct and ethics, has to compete with others who have no such restrictions.

So just because somebody has managed to get rich doesn’t necessarily mean that he or she is smart or even intelligent. Lots of them are neither!
