Even more, the fact that this man is a businessman proves the simple fact that just because you're a rich guy, you don't have to have smarts.
You would think this statement is incorrect, but throughout my life, I have met several people who have done very well for themselves...and I've been floored that some of those individuals were intellect deprived.
Finding a nitch, being good at something that catches on, or is wanted, separates needing any kind of formal education from "making it." I do not begrudge them. It's actually nice to know that a 1 in a million ANYONE has a chance. But it proves all the more, what a complete crap shoot wealth is and how education (as a needed component) gets hammered as not really mattering in the grand scheme...when these poster children for luck get displayed as some kind of "norm."
"He/she's worth 20 MILLION DOLLARS, man...they must know their shit!" Actually...no they don't.
It KILLS me that education, under the above assumption, gets treated as an unnecessary component of a full and "rich" life.
I WISH I could remember the name of the Texas oil millionaire, who hires geologists and specialist that understand strata layering, in order to best find where oil deposits are accumulated from dinosaur remains...who is CONVINCED that the earth is 6,000 years old. It just boggles my fucking mind.
