Billionaire U: Why Harvard Mints Mega-Rich Alums

CNBC
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has its hedge-fund quants, the University of Southern California has its movie moguls. But if you really want your child to be a billionaire, you might want to send them to Harvard.

Harvard has graduated some 52 billionaires, with a collective fortune of $205 billion, to lead Wealth-X's global list of universities ranked by alumni worth $1 billion or more. That's nearly twice as many as the No. 2 school, the University of Pennsylvania, which has 28 billionaire alumni worth a collective $112 billion.

And these numbers don't include either Microsoft (MSFT)'s Bill Gates or Facebook (FB)'s Mark Zuckerberg, both of whom attended Harvard but didn't stay to get their degree. Together they are worth some $45 billion.
