The principle of that example holds regardless of whether you attribute Gates to be an outlier. If money directly correlated to intelligence, or if such a thing were even coming to pass, we would all have approximately the same wealth - the degree of seperation between intelligence does not come CLOSE to matching the degree of seperation between wealth.

It is NOT likely to be similar in almost any company. I have yet to see ANY evidence presented to that effect. I have cited evidence to the contrary.

So you're telling me that at most companies, the most intelligent person is at the top?
I have never witnessed such a thing, not once. On the contrary, I have seen bullshit artists excel. And then there is physical attractiveness and its ability to increase promotion.
And I have not seen any evidence you claim to have cited which demonstrates any of this to be false. You cited a study, a book, which I have not read, but your description of the study states that it demonstrates that an increase in intelligence frequently leads to an increase in wealth - which is not at all the same as demonstrating that high wealth is in anyway associated with high intelligence.
