Not by accident or luck. She is mentally stronger than most people, I mean and as a woman to have that kind of success without good looks either means it was largely on merit too.

Yes, and probably focused as well, capable of hard work. I often think about Michael Jackson, that finished his life broke despite making hundreds of millions. Success can make one lose his mind.

I think Michael Jackson had phenomenonal talent (obviously) forged under great work ethic, but he was also mentally fraigle in a lot of ways ... like an obvious addiction to plastic surgery for one (not getting into all the other stuff). What a talent though.
