No I think the vice-versa. Intelligence has something to do with wealth.

Yes and No...
Reasons:
Sometimes you are born into wealth.. or you can win a large amount of money on a lottery or something like that..or sometimes its inherited wealth .. that takes no intelligence whatsoever...
but it does takes some intelligence to know what to do with it though.. so you are not broke soon after winning..
Hard work plus a determination to get ahead can bring wealth..plus having the sense to know how to invest that money for major profit .. well yeah I would say you need intelligence for that..

In the present day environment there are the following methods of collecting wealth :
- Acquiring knowledge , getting good job with equally good salary. This definetly shows correlation between wealth and intelligence;
- Getting wealth through inherittance , here intelligence has no role to play in this case;
-Adopting illegal routes like theft or robbery. Here also intelligence has some role to plsay,
- Joining politics and indulge incorruption ,here also intelligence has role to play.
Thus almost in all the cases intelligence has definite tor

I think that intelligence is a person's ability to solve problems and achieve goals, whether it's math, relationship, or financial problems, a more intelligent person will be more successful at being successful. If an intelligent person focuses on becoming financially wealthy the chances are better he will succeed over a less intelligent person.

I think Intelligence and wealth are not at all connected to each other in any ways. Most of the rich people are not-so-intelligent. Filmstars, Models, Business tycoons, (not all but some are dumb and still wealthy). Politicians are the best examples of such people.

Luck could play a part but intelligence plays the large part yes. It is a concentrated kind of intelligence. Just because somebody does not have book smarts, does not mean they are not street smart. They could also just have a really good agent.

Some. But the single most important thing in determining wealth is hard work. Go read "The Millionaire Next Door" by Thomas Stanley for more on this.

Oh, not at all. I think an intelligent person can become successful, sure. But just being rich has NEVER translated to being smart.

No. There are plenty of intelligent people who are more interested in helping others and giving of themselves than accumulating wealth.
The drive to become wealthy is more about personality types and the environment you grow up in.
