He inherited wealth and used that leverage to game the system by being a dishonest and shameless self-promoter. That isn't intellect.

You might say he is savvy at exploiting others. That's fair. "Intellect" implies he's a deep thinker, though. He's definitely not that. He's an average mind that has boundless self-confidence in his own imaginary genius.
