See my answer to ChristianKl, my understanding was that high IQ on it’s own is not a good predictor of equivalent success on any social hierarchy.
That is to say, a high IQ is more likely in people that are successful in societal-terms (money, status… etc), but not required or correlated (i.e. a billionaires IQ is not correlated with his ranking compared to other billionaires, and assuming there’s a mean “X” of billionaires IQ, there’s likely many more people at “X” that are not billionaires, or even successful in any other particular social hierarchy).
However, as per my reply there, I think I don’t have the literature to back up the claim, hence why I’ve retracted the post. I haven’t found evidence to the contrary, but since many people seem to disagree with this, I think I’d be fair for you not to trust that stance unless you find some evidence to back it up or I come up with said evidence at a later point.
