"Those who have gotten wealthy have generally done so because they were successful."

Not always. Or even often. Usually it is a happenstance thing. Over the past decades, it has usually been a function of how highly placed you are in a company. And that is often who you know, not what you know.

"So, why should not wealth tend to pool where there is success?"

Pooling money in the hands of a few is bad for the economy and bad for society. As has been proven more than once.
