Behind the Bastards covers a few of them. IIRC Dr. Oz grew up poor and went to medical school on scholarship.

He's not fuck you money rich like Bezos or Musk, both of which lucked into the birth lottery.

Though tbf, Oz got rich by scamming people out of their money with endorsing supplements that don't work.

Becoming a surgeon and serial scammer sounds like he lacked morals not intelligence.

morals are a flaw on an individual level and only remotely beneficial in the context of greater society, intelligence is something you can never have enough of.
