<p>zepp, do you have a source for your list of the 25 richest people in america and what colleges they attended?
if the ones that you mentioned (Columbia, Princeton, Yale (2), MIT (2), Harvard (3), Stanford, and University of Pennsylvania) are the only ones out of the whole list of 25, than that is only 11 of the 25 people and that is below half, which kind of disproves your point. it shows that you really do not neeeeed a degree from an Ivy league or top tier school.</p>
