Equating entrepreneurship with genius is an american thing. The 
US doesn't really have a unifying cultural identity, symbols of 
capitalism has become the unifier. You see it all the time in US 
media, money becomes culture (symptoms: Kardashians, Paris 
Hilton, Donald Trump etc).

Most reasonable people would reserve the term "genius" to people 
who's intellectual work far surpass what comes after: Bach, 
Einstein, Aristoteles etc… Has nothing to do with business at all.

(An no, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs does not qualify.)
