Wealth and social standing do allow you to bend the rules quite a bit.
What are the best ways to get and leverage so much credit intelligently, without having such initial wealth and status?
Are there institutions that offer credit based on some measure of g/educational attainment/"future earnings potential"?

It could be software, but it could be anything, really. If you build a startup that has users who love you, you can raise money from investors, get press attention, etc. Caveat being that it's a really, really hard thing to do.
