Well it turns out that the most intelligent people are almost always socialists. Einstein, Hawking, etc.
So it goes against smart = rich because they see the bigger picture and want all of society to benefit.
They reached their goals. Being rich wasn't their goal. If it was, they would have achieved that target too. If you don't agree you are retarded.
Now I thought a bit more about it, those guys were rich too. Not FIAT rich but knowledge rich.
