He was not book smart, or educated by any means. But he was no fool either. He had survival instincts, street smarts, and that's what made him become so successful in such a short time. Keep in mind that Tony Montana escaped from a life where he had nothing and therefore was not afraid of dying. So when he came to America, he came with a lust for the good life, and he decided that he would go for the gusto, no matter what the cost because he really had nothing to lose.

Unfortunately for him, his fast rise to power afforded him to live life in the fast lane, and he allowed his addiction to cloud his judgement which eventually cost him his life and everything that he had achieved.
