Take the IQ blackpill.
Of course if a person is rich, it does not mean that they are high IQ. Many low IQ singers, celebrities, famous sports players.... are wealthy (although the wealth probably won't last long and will be gone in the next generation).
Guys on .org think their IQ is high, yet most users here are poor and can't even afford surgery.
If you are high IQ, your parents would also very likely be high IQ (IQ is highly heritable). And in modern times, there are just too many legal opportunities to make good money for someone with even decent IQ, not even necessarily high. It isn't thousands of years ago when IQ didn't matter nearly as much as now. A high IQ person easily has the choice of being a surgeon, top engineer, investment banker, research scientist, professor at a good school, anything except for being poor.
Especially with the internet existing and the ability for anyone to develop software, it is even easier for a high IQ person to get wealthy.
I wouldn't consider myself high IQ, although I know I am very above average IQ. My dad is a manager at a top paying tech company and my mom is a VP (I know VP at bank is not impressive) at top bank. My parents own multiple homes, they are worth a lot now.
This site is always obsessed with looks. But the IQ blackpill might be even more brutal and hard to accept.
