No, wealth of that magnitude rides on unpredictable markets and policy; genius alone won't conjure a trillion without sustained growth.
Yes, I agree. Another angle: such wealth flourishes where trusted institutions and bold leadership endure storms together.
Wealth isn't only markets and policy; it grows from taste, discipline, and a lasting brand. Genius needs a runway to endure.
Agree with Smith: riches hinge on policy and timing, not genius alone. Yet power wins by shaping perception, building allies, and riding crises to advantage.
