Where the 25 richest American billionaires went to college.
To determine where America’s richest people went to college, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed net worth statistics from' real time billionaire's ranking, a snapshot of wealth in October 2022. Alma mater information came from different sources. Over half of the 25 of the richest Americans went to Ivy League schools, including the three wealthiest. Others attended public state universities, and a few went to small, private liberal arts colleges. Harvard is the most attended university.
In fact, one-fifth of billionaires on the list, including Michael Dell and Larry Ellison, dropped out of college before finishing their undergraduate degree. Most of America’s richest citizens studied subjects related to their careers and sources of wealth. Elon Musk earned undergraduate degrees in both economics and physics. Jeff Bezos studied electrical engineering and computer science. Nike founder Phil Knight studied business and competed as a middle-distance runner for the University of Oregon track and field team.
There are a few outliers. Mars candy company heiress Jacqueline Mars studied anthropology, and oil and aluminum tycoon Len Blavatnik studied at the Moscow University of railway engineering. The 25 richest people in America have a collective wealth of $1.7 trillion, more than the gross domestic product of most countries. Though these billionaires attended a range of universities, a top-tier education often forges relationships and connections and can certainly help with future earnings prospects -- but is no guarantee of joining the top 1%.
