Well, with high IQ, I assume that really means you possess a lot of knowledge and superior reasoning ability. All good stuff.
The social bit...earning a lot of money depends on how responsible you are for the things you have. You can have a high IQ and all the talent in the world. If people don’t believe in you, or you can’t convince people to take your side and be on your team, all the intellect and ability will not help you.
Zuckerberg came up with an idea that solved a particular technological problem that brought people together. It wasn’t the first time anyone had done this. But people barely remember MySpace because Facebook proved more effective. There was a versatility and dynamic over time with Facebook that other social media lagged on.
The more you reach out to people and the more responsible you prove yourself to be with those you’re in charge of, the more you’re trusted with more resources. Anybody really can be a billionaire if they want. It’s a question of whether you REALLY want to be.
Like it or not Trump is president. He happens to be a billionaire. When you consider how much hate and scrutiny he’s faced with that he’s never had to deal with before, and when you consider what’s happening with his family and friends that NEVER happened before 2016, would you really WANT to be the leader of a country? And given how high the stakes are, would you want to work for him or even be associated with him? It takes a lot of risk. Most people I know are stressed out as it is earning $30k to $50k INDIVIDUALLY with total family income in the $80k to $100k range. Can you imagine earning millions and billions a year with every penny being scrutinized, thousands of employees that have to be paid, and potential lawsuits lurking around every corner from people you never heard of? Most people really aren’t up for it. These people are surrounded by teams of lawyers and accountants for a good reason.
I could imagine that, sure, but if you're talking about Trump.. like George Clooney pointed out, he has to work harder with more people to make a movie than Trump works as the Trump Organization employs 12 people. Twelve. That's it. The rest is smoke and mirrors to make him look bigger and more successful than he is. It's all contractors/subcontractors/vendors etc just getting cut cheques. He doesn't have dozens, hundreds, or thousands of employees. Just 12 people to manage.
