The wealth of a person doesn't show in what the person believes.
Conspiracy, fake news, misinformation are not for the poorer, the masses. It's here for everyone.
People often wrongly think that wealth protect you from these believes. The second wrong assumption is the intelligence protect you. It's not. And, wealth and intelligence aren't correlated. Another myth.
Tbf, intelligence helps:-).
But yeah, definitely not a guarantee - see e.g. Ivermectin.
It seems more like emotional agility is the more primary key - a willingness to look (inwards, outwards, at others, at the world, and accept what one sees).
