Top 15 Universities Ranked by Wealthy Alumni

[Anonymous]

Alright, suckers! Who cares about Nobels, Rhodes, Fulbrights when you could be swimming in money (or the company of those with money, ha!) instead? Here's the real ranking of universities, measured by how many UHNW (ultra high net worth) alumni they have. UHNW is defined as individuals with a net worth over $30 million.

1. Harvard - 13,650 alumni
2. Stanford - 5,580
3. UPenn - 5,575
4. Columbia - 3,925
5. NYU - 3,380
6. MIT - 2,785
7. Cambridge - 2,760
8. Northwestern - 2,725
9. USC - 2,645
10. UChicago - 2,405
11. Yale - 2,400
12. UC Berkeley - 2,385
13. Oxford - 2,290
14. Cornell - 2,245
15. UT Austin - 2,195



Rounding out the top 20...

16. Princeton - 2,180
17. Notre Dame - 2,085
18. UMichigan - 1,970
19. INSEAD - 1,965
20. UCLA - 1,945



Harvard is clearly in a class of its own.

Percentages are definitely important, but the only real outliers I see here in terms of size are NYU, USC, Berkeley, UT Austin, and Michigan, which are significantly larger schools than the rest.

INSEAD in France is absolutely tiny and much newer compared to the rest of the schools on this list, and still ranks in the top 20 which is very, very impressive.

^oh and UCLA (included in the bigger schools)

A great judge of where the generationally already rich send their kids.

Now someone do it for self-made...

Rich kids end up being rich adults.

I would like to now see the stats broken up by race and gender.

I suspect that White people will top the list. This is not meritocracy. We see how stupid Trump and his Ivy-League cronies are.

It is just the benefit of being racially exploitative.

The source actually carves out the percentages of each of the top 20 US schools based on 3 categories: self-made, inheritance + self-made, and inheritance.

Other than the two outliers of USC and Boston University, all of the UHNWIs in the top 20 schools are 70%+ self-made, which is respectable.

How many were already rich and how many paid someone to take their SAT like tRUMP?

Trump and his party are proudly anti-establishment and anti-intellectual. We all know Trump graduated from Penn, but I feel like his followers conveniently forget that when they're busy blasting American universities and denigrating them as so-called elitist liberal brainwashing centers.

How many are graduate school? Harvard Business School alone probably has more than all but a few on this list.

How good of you to draw your conclusion with absolutely no evidence.

A better measure would be wealth created by students would be a more impressive star. Recruiting the children of rich people is meaningless
