You assume wealth is correlated with intelligence (it's actually like 0.03).

You're applying the "halo effect" to these unfortunately delusional people - just because you are rich doesn't really imply anything else about you. It merely indicates that you are, well, rich.

End of attributes.

This one is rather strong and I easily fall for it, thank you for reminding me.
