So, I wouldn't think of a PC modeled off of him as being unrealistic.

Yes exactly. Exceptional people with 100s of points in GURPS terms exist in the real world. Somewhere there is an ex-Special Forces guy who is a multi-millionaire and has positive Appearance and/or Charisma and has valuable Contacts.
It's fine to play a low-powered campaign and have characters who are unexceptional and only modestly competent at a couple of things. It's ironically unrealistic to pretend that accurately models the reality of all plausible human beings.
