I am not entirely surprised by this at all actually, anecdotally I have always felt people who achieved success where mainly in the right place right time. Whether that be born to a certain family or class, or to a certain country, or area of a country, these things all effect where we will end up. Good to know us average folk can still make it in this rigged world

It seems to me that, determine in being rich is its accomplishment and a down to earth attitude. We can say that being rich is not about for being intelligence because even though how smart you are if you did not know how to be with other people it does not make sense. Talent can be a stepping stone to be rich if you have many skills then you a have a potential.
But even if you do have a shitty attitude, you can still become rich because of your intelligence. Did you know that most CEOs have a what we consider shitty attitude? They are very logical and doesn't care about your feelings. They want the work to get done and that's their only concern, nothing else. If that means dropping employees all of a sudden, then be it. You can get to the top by being a people person but you can also get to the top by being so good that people obey you despite of their hurt feelings.
Besides, at some point you're going to work with people. There will be people trusting you for your mind and your logic. There will be people working as the people person for them. Someone who will be talking and facing the employees since that's their strong suit. It's why emotional people (or the people person) and logical people gets along so well. The other is lacking what the other is abundant of. They make the best tandem in life and in a company.
