Why Dumb People Earn More Than Smart People
Β
Ever scroll through social media and wonder how people like Jake Paul or Kylie Jenner, who don’t seem exceptionally “smart” in the traditional sense, are raking in millions? You’re not alone. I used to be that person, the one chasing perfect grades and collecting degrees, thinking that was the golden ticket to success. But let me tell you, I was wrong. Dead wrong.
The truth is, there’s a disconnect between intelligence and wealth. And today, I’m going to break down why, and more importantly, how you can flip the script and start earning what you deserve.

The Myth of the Smart Money-Maker
Let’s get real. There’s a common misconception that intelligence directly translates to wealth. Sure, up to a certain point, it does. In Corporate America, smart people often land high-prestige, high-salary jobs like doctors, researchers, and engineers. These roles require specific degrees and a certain level of intelligence.
However, there’s a ceiling. In the U.S., that ceiling is around $64,000 per year. Beyond that, the game changes. The 1% β those earning $600,000+ annually β are often not the “smartest” people in the room.
Why? Because they’re willing to take risks.
The Risk Factor: Why Smart People Stay in Their Cage
Smart people often get trapped in the comfort of high salaries. I was there once, earning over $225,000 a year. It’s hard to walk away from that security. But here’s the kicker: if a company is willing to pay you that much, your actual market value is likely millions more.
The Zoo Animal Syndrome
Think of it this way: as a high-salaried employee, you’re like a zoo animal. You’re fed, protected, and comfortable. But you’re also caged. You don’t get to roam the Savannah, hunt your own food, and truly live.
Entrepreneurs, on the other hand, are hunters. They take risks, they adapt, and they thrive. Dumb people, in this context, are often more willing to take those leaps of faith.
The Irony of High Earners
Here’s the irony: the smartest, highest-paid people are the least likely to leave their jobs and start their own businesses. They overestimate the risks, while those with less “intelligence” often see opportunities and jump on them.
The Power of Dumb Ideas and Childlike Curiosity
Smart people love to plan. They strategize, analyze, and overthink. But sometimes, the best ideas are the simplest ones. Dumb people, in a sense, have an advantage here. They’re willing to try things without overcomplicating them.
Learning to Be Dumb (In a Good Way)
I had to learn to let go of my “smart” persona. I had to become a student again, asking questions and admitting I didn’t know everything. It’s about having a childlike curiosity and an open mind.
The Myth of the Perfect Plan
Smart people often get stuck in analysis paralysis, trying to plan for every possible outcome. But life doesn’t work that way. Sometimes, you just have to jump.
Finding Your Focus: The Key to Wealth
So, how do you break free from the “smart person” trap? It starts with finding your focus. Stop chasing the “highest-paying” fields and start pursuing what you love.
The Power of Passion
Whether it’s hair, nails, or building rocket ships, do what you love and stick with it. That’s where true wealth lies.
Letting Go of Cynicism
Smart people often dismiss “dumb” ideas as impossible. But I’ve seen millionaires built on the simplest concepts. It’s about believing in the possibilities.
