So you value money more than intelligence. Personally I find money to be a poor marker of success in life though I know for most people it is the only marker. Intelligence is valuable for its own sake and not just what it might be able to bring you monetarily.

Only a stupid person would pat themselves on the back and agree with this rubbish article.

The article also says this:
A high IQ is often a prerequisite for rising to the top ranks of business today. It is necessary, but it is not adequate to predict executive competence and corporate success. By itself, a high IQ does not guarantee that you will stand out and rise above everyone else. I don't think anyone really believes that a high IQ is a guarantee for success. But it is highly necessary in some professions. Remember, these people are responsible for many scientific discoveries that facilitate technological advancement, which many take for granted. Although IQ certainly isn't a flawless measurement of an individual's potential.

Anyone can have money, or rather anyone can end up with money through good fortune and/or hard work, but intelligence is something you either have or don't have. You can improve what you are born with of course, by reading widely or doing algebra or whatever.

There's a difference between intelligence and willpower. With intelligence alone, your dreams are worth nothing more than sand. But with intelligence and willpower combined, you can turn all that sand into an Egyptian pyramid.
