Therefore, it is how u make use of the extra opportunities available at these top universities, which is not usually found in local unis, that will help you in the future.
If you spend 3/4 years in university without making use of what is offered, it certainly does not matter which uni u go to.
That said, intelligence/IQ is only part of the equation to success. Therefore, it should not be surprising to see ppl we deem less smart become more successful than us.

Luck is one of the factors.
And where you started working also plays a part. Many entrepreneurs are actually copycats - eg work in an interior decor company, then after a few years strike out with your own interior decor company, apply similar business strategies and improving on them, and perhaps poaching some customers along the way.
For high IQs, they will start work in government, MNCs and banks. Not easy to start another government, MNC or bank...
