I think some people assume that the smarter a person is the more money they will have, because they have bent all of their intellect toward gaining more wealth. Therefore, in their eyes, billionaires are all uber geniuses (PS fuck autocorrect for trying to tell me uber has to be capitalized, it’s a fucking word foremost, not a company).
They do not understand that money is not the primary motivator for a lot of people. Particularly a lot of very smart people.
Also, the one billionaire I’ve known quasi-personally (worked for him and spent some time around him) was a third generation rich kid who wasn’t particularly evil at heart but also not particularly bright.
It’s the complete opposite. The only trait that billionaires have in common is exploitation of people. There is no way to legitimately earn a billion dollars - you must take it. From your employees, from people you scammed, from exploited labor. Being a billionaire only proves that you were a dick who put yourself above everything else.
