Sure, but I’m sure there are plenty of math professors living on low pensions with much higher IQs even in their old age — financial success is not particularly related to IQ. There is some correlation, but it has much more to do with privilege and luck.
Is desire/ability to solve puzzles correlated with success in the business world? Frankly, I doubt it based on the sample of people I've seen who would rather be right than be rich
