No, you didn't read the article. IQ isn't nearly enough to explain such high overrepresentation. A culture of hard work isn't a great explanation either. IQ's heritability gradually increases to somethibg like .8 as a person reaches adulthood, it's not environmental.

Most likely, it's nepotism combined with a bit of conspiracy at the highest elite levels. They seem to historically be good at it.
