Wrong
Remember that historically, being a "money-changer" was a negative thing. All the way back to Aristotle the good life is a life of knowledge and political participation; having to work and make money was shameful.
We've laregly abandonned this outlook in "modern times," but I think the preference of the very, very smart remains a life of knowledge and learning, with a little politics on the side.
There are exceptions of course. Look at Bill Gates. Is he a genious? I don't know, but he is certainly a very smart man who has more money than he knows what to do with.
