but that individual IQ doesn't really influence individual wealth

Really!

Can you link me to the data you have for this. It seem so counter-intuitive that I'm tempted to defy the data. It seems to me there are so many mechanisms by which an intelligence advantage turns into a wealth advantage. Ignoring billionaire businessmen as a tiny proportion of the population, what about doctors or lawyers, those both require above average intelligence (I think) and pay better than the average job.

Is there really no correlation!?
