In my experience the wealthy people I know (self-made) aren't especially intelligent but most of them are/were chancers who saw opportunities and (in some cases) weren't afraid to bend the truth or outright lie to get deals done, often at the expense of others.
For me I think a lot of intelligent folk are also quite empathetic and less mercenary so I think would be less inclined to make dodgy deals (whether out of morality or fear of getting caught) and this can lead to never becoming seriously wealthy, even though intelligent people would generally earn a higher wage.
