This seems like unjustified conjecture. There are so many variables at play in determining the ability to gain wealth; if I'm "high IQ" (rolling my eyes at this term) and want to gain wealth, but I have to care for my ailing mother, or raise four children on my own, will I succeed?
One can make a lot of money on YouTube without needing a formal education, and I struggle to see how you would measure the "IQ" of the successful YouTube stars.
Isn't there a flawed assumption that you need a high paying job that requires high IQ to amass wealth?
