New Delhi: Want to become a billionaire? Get a Harvard degree first! That's right because one of the most important steps that you can take right now in becoming a billionaire is by getting an education from the right school.
In a study conducted earlier this year, market research firm Wealth-X has looked into how many graduates of high-end schools are worth more than $30 million each — placing them in the “ultra-high-net-worth” bracket, and Harvard took the top spot, with more than twice as many UHNW graduates than any other institution. The number of Harvard alumni who are billionaires were 52 – more than any other American university by a long shot. Additionally, 3,000 graduates of Harvard University are worth more than $30 million (each).
