What it means is that, for the purposes of acquiring money, it is far more important to be surrounded by people/places/organizations with money than it is to be intelligent.
As for the "(money is) given to the implication, but lack, of intelligence" statement - this means in order to acquire money from someone, you only need to know slightly more about a specific topic of potential investment and have a persuasive demeanor. In other words, you can circumvent a lack of intelligence by improving your marketing skills. And by marketing skills I mean bullshit skills.
Seperate from that, here is another demonstration of why money does not correlate to intelligence: Bill Gates, though probably more intelligent than the average person, is not a million times more intelligent than the average person. Yet his wealth is somewhere around a million times the average.
