Gates is a massive outlier. In addition, using him as evidence for anything would be tantamount to using a sample of 1 (not useful at all for making reliable inferences). I wouldn't consider him in any discussion of the relationship of IQ and income.

It is NOT likely to be similar in almost any company. I have yet to see ANY evidence presented to that effect. I have cited evidence to the contrary.
