Statistically, it does. On average, intelligent people are more productive, earn more, and have smarter children.

But intelligent people end up single parents, suffer I'll health and get made redundant just like anyone else. And rampant idealism, existential depression and having been damaged by not having your needs met all of your childhood can lead to low income too.
