No... Look to the presidents, prime ministers, singers... Do you think they are intelligent? I don't think so...

It is clearly not necessary to be intelligent to be famous, rich or successful. Fame just means that many people know about you, and that can happen for a variety of reasons, including talent or just being in the right place at the right time. Rich means that you have money - that can happen because you were born into the right family or because someone decides to give you their money to do whatever you do - including looking good (modeling), having talent (singing) or other things which don't necessarily require intelligence. Success is how you define it. You can be successful because you have a happy family, a moral life, or are respected in your community. None of these things rule out intelligence, but they don't require it either.

No, most people that DO become wealthy and successful do so with their own business though. They also need to no market trends and what people are in the market for.
Check out this TV news story about a new product that is just out on the market to deal with the high prices of fuel:

No, intelligence does not equate famous, rich,or successful. Determination, Desire, and some Good Luck are more important.
