I am ambivalent on that. I think many high politicians are way smarter than most people think. Though I don't want to state with that that they make good policies.
I think many bankers are pretty smart. Criminals just in suits who are ripping off people legally- This is way smarter than to rob a bank. I think the IT-genuises must be extremely smart.
However the are also pretty stupid elites. This is just my opinion but for example the royales just had luck. Moreover some cultural elites. Many celebrities and sport stars are just skilled at one thing and make a fortune with it. Though this is obviously no rule. There are also extremely smart people who fit in this category.
For high politicians I think there are 4 factors. Lots of luck, high intelligence, resilience and often a wealthy family. The fourth factor depends probably on the country. In the US there are more dynasties than in my country.
