And he is not adverse to using the markets to carry out his plans.
Stark wouldn't even appear in the top 10 ....the only reason he even merits comment is because he is wealthy, but not because of his level of fiscal dexterity. He is simply an extremely bright fella (understatement) who made a lot of money due to his technological genius. If you want a person to build you a power-suit call up Tony ....however if you want someone who can use hedge straddles to take over global financial markets then dial T' for T'challa.
Yes and no. I will not deny he has had his company taken away from him, but it is both his technological skill AND his business sense that lets him regain it. Most times the company gets taken away not because of some business mishap, but something that Ironman caused (one time he was in another dimension, they sold his company. Another, he gave it all away because it caused too much stress for everyone to think he was an alchohalic AND a rumored killer *as Ironman* ) Another time This has been mentioned many times in how he runs Shield, to the million and one times he has fired/hired/made partners in the financial world.
You are underestimating his business sense by quite a bit 😬
