I believe the Skull and Bones society at Yale is the organization that created the most billionaires per capita.

good to see USC on there.
still, I guess I could understand the Ivies being listed... but USC seems a little random among these top 20s no? Is it because of Hollywood? And what happened to NYU? I think it was on the list last year.

| Billionaire Rates Adjusted for Enrollments
Rank School Enrollment Billionaires Per Current Student
1 Harvard...25,778..........54............0.0021
2 Stanford...17,747.........25............0.0014
2 Yale.........11,415.........16............0.0014
4 MIT..........10,253.........11............0.0011
5 Upenn.......23,743........18............0.0008
6 Columbia...22,317.........16...........0.0007
6 UChicago....14,263........10...........0.0007
8 Northwstrn..18,486.......10............0.0005
8 Cornell.......19,639.........9............0.0005
10 USC..........33,389.........9............0.0003
10 Berkeley....33,920.........9............0.0003
12 UTA...........49,697.........9............0.0002
These enrollment figures are from stateuniversity.com. They are the numbers of recently enrolled students, not the numbers of all living alumni. I'm guessing the total living alumni would number about 10 times the above enrollment figures. If so, the ratio of billionaires per living alumni would range from about 2 per 100,000 (UTA) to 2 per 10,000 (Harvard). These are miniscule numbers but it's interesting how closely they seem to track the college rankings.

| Yes, indeed, that is the appropriate question here.
I only know, personally, one fellow who is referred to in the newspapers as a billionaire. His undergraduate degree is from a regional Catholic university that is rarely mentioned here. He spent most of his childhood in an orphanage.
These lists serve no purpose.

I am not sure how accurate this article is. Michigan, for example, has produced at least 10 Billionaires.
John Robert Beyster (BA)
Desai Bharat (MBA)
Charlie Munger (BA)
Larry Page (BS)
Jorge M. Perez (MBA)
Stephen Ross (BA)
Kavitark Ram Shriram (MBA)
Bruce Wasserstein (BA)
Samuel Wyly (MBA)
Samuel Zell (BA)
The list above only includes Michigan graduates who made their own fortune.
I am not including people like Stanley Druckenmiller, Joan Tisch, Alfred Taubman or Niklas Zennstrom, who either attended Michigan but did not graduate from there or who graduated from Michigan but merely inherited their fortune.
