GURPS points measure ability to succeed in adventuring situations, not inborn gifts or exotic training. So if someone is consistently successful, he's a high-point character, even if the concept is 'normal person who succeds through grit, luck, moral qualities or author-on-board'.
Or they buy their successes.

Destiny, wildcard skills, or points for buying successes.

That would just be possible on 25 to 50 point characters depending on how often you roll.
