Seems like the conclusion of the article ends up admitting luck plays a large role. From the article you linked:
“It is important to note that this research can not explain why a particular individual does well or poorly financially. Luck, timing, parents, choice of spouse and many other factors play important roles in shaping an individual’s circumstances.”
I guess if you think about it that way then everything is luck and we live in a deterministic world where none of your choices matter. That still wouldn’t support the argument in the OP meme though.

How lucky one would be to have those successful personality traits. Oh wait…
