I’ve read the book as well, they tend to better educated but I don’t recall millionaires being any smarter than the rest of us. They are just more disciplined.
Here’s the first chapter. Check out the heading Portrait of a Millionaire.

If you mean “the rest of us” i.e. Freepers, then you’re probably correct. The average Freeper is quite a bit smarter than the average American...or at least Dem Americans. But to have the discipline to defer gratification for long periods of time and the smarts to make wise choices when investing takes a person with above average intelligence. I’m willing to bet the average self-made millionaire has an IQ in the 110-115 range. That’s pretty intelligent.
True love? Who in the hell wants true Love? Believe me, you can get a lot of true love when you have all of that rich stuff...Anything else would be boring
