Billionaire Universities: Forbes list of the schools graduating the most students who subsequently became billionaires. First is Harvard, of course. If you are going to become a billionaire, it helps if your daddy is a multi millionaire. <g>

Second was Stanford. That one surprised me. Stanford is a great school, but it has a disproportionate number of graduates who go to work for charities and service organizations. But, I guess the others are doing o.k., financially.

Penn. Hooray. Of 27 billionaires who went to business school, 20 went to Wharton.

Yale.

Columbia.

Princeton. I expected them to be higher on the list.

But, last night, Colbert pointed out that the second largest number of billionaires actually graduated from no college. New York University led with 5 drop out billionaires. I don't know if you put that one in recruiting brochures or not.
