re: Top 20 colleges with most billionaire alumni

very surprised not to see MIT in the top 5 or 10. Also a bit surprised not to see Cal Tech on this list.

Those are about super smart nerds who do their job.

This list...ala Yale - ala Bush...is about connections...and heritage...sadly still.

The Northeast still dominates...the founders of schools back then...and industry back then...doesn't matter what you can do, but where you come from and who you know.
Billionaire nepotism.

The same shite for the last 200 years still exists today.

The old guard - all Ivy has no rival in terms of influence.

Except for the West Coast schools who can challenge them.

And that's only because California is so big in size and talent - and has the Tech and Film Industry...and Pac-12 schools work to achieve results that are real world.

Michigan is the real winner in this list.

Buried in the Midwest...they are the only Big10 school on the list and (along with USC) - one's not considered IVY.

It's still sad...that we essentially live in an aristocracy.

Because ever year...it's the same schools...if you graduated from IVY - you have this ridiculous greater chance of being a billionaire.

Other schools - you have to be otherworldly...but nepotism, legacy, etc. You just need connections.

It's the same constant cycle. Same schools, same presidents, same CEO's, same Corps...from same backgrounds...
