What gets a person furthest in this world: money, brains or looks?

I would say that studies support looks. But your question leaves a lot to interpretation. A person who inherits a lot of money is already far, far ahead in the world. But when's the last time you heard of a lottery winner getting... anywhere, beyond holiday resorts and possible early grave? People on the streets and the slums have the same brains as everybody else, and you could say they even have to use them more, but despite the stereotypical story, is there actually anybody who "got far" from the slums? Looks works though; there's an endless cavalcade of movie stars, supermodels and celebrities whose only gift seems to be that they meet (and, admittedly, sometimes define) the current standards of beauty.

Luck.
Educate yourself to the highest degree all you want.
Even educated folk are made unemployed from time to time.
Money comes and goes. And the more you have of it, the harder it is to hang on to. Since everybody else then wants a slice of it.
Brains ? Well, if your brain says one thing but a greater number say the opposite,what good does it do you ?
Looks ? Well, looks might give you opportunities but they're not all what you hope for.
But luck......If you're lucky, that gives you an advantage the rest of us can only hope for.

Looks unfortunately

With brains you can get money.
With money you can get looks.
With money you can get education, so an upgrade to the brains.
With looks you can get money.

I think starting at brains nets the most but money is the connecting one. 😜

In THIS world, money, in eternity nothing can get you where you need to be but Jesus.

In my experience sucking off your boss works wonders

While these may help, it's really attitude that gets you everything.

Very varied and nuanced
No guarantees but I'd say Attitude and a mix of the above

Money. You can buy looks and brains..well use other peeps brains with your money.🤔

Brain, they make good decisions and can also easily get a job.

Money is the anthem of success

Brains

If you need a crutch then you do not understand

All 3

All three.
