Never understood why people believe in this.
After a certain point money is just boring, and getting more means kissing asses of so many idiots that it just isn't worth it.

this is true
Who doesn't want to be rich? Everyone wants to be rich. Therefore being rich is a goal everyone has.
Intelligence means being able to accomplish your goals. Any other definition of intelligence is invalid.
Therefore if you are not rich you are a brainlet.
Inb4 "Muh sacrifices".
If you are truly intelligent you would be able to become rich with minimal sacrifices.

If you're a boring person. Having so much money that you can run a VC firm that bets on moonshots without worrying about losing money would be awesome.

If you're smart and you value accumulating money in large quantities the expected value of your personal wealth falls in what most would consider rich, though some deviation is to be expected once luck and conjuncture are taken into account.
that's a statement I would approve of.

True, but incomplete. You also need conscientiousness and a good social support group in case something unlucky happens. Also you need ambition.

Its hugely based off of luck.

You can fit iq into a regression model, and no matter how intelligent you are, you're expected earnings wont reach seven figures.

If you wanna define iq as the abilityh to earn money, then you are retarded.

That's true. Just look at Perelman. Big brained his way into 1 million dollars. He turned it down of course but he could've been rich.

>> No.10411415

Money gets less and less useful the more you have. The difference between 0$ and 100$ is surviving. The difference between 10000$ and 50000$ is a couple more inches in your smart tv. "If you're smart, you must not be poor" is a much more accurate statement imo

How much pleasure can you derive from owning a rocket company? I guess a little from the recognition and from discovering stuff if you're into space exploration but it pales next to eating a 3 dollar burger after starving.

Subjected to a life lacking in a meaningful sense of satisfaction unless due care is made to nurture the developing mind.
Having a high IQ at birth only correlates to financial success when if their development doesn't get scared as a child. You see it all too often, a gifted mind destroying itself in dissonance, often accredited to a neglected development, and resulting in damaged psyche that often descends into drug abuse; withdrawing from their own humanity
