Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.
So the king basically gave Daniel the ultimate glow-up, promoted him to the top, loaded him up with amazing gifts, and put him in charge of the entire province of Babylon. Plus, he made him the head boss over all the other wise advisors.
When you show up with God's wisdom, don't be surprised when the world takes notice and elevates you.
