The world’s top self-made billionaires do not just have more money than everyone else; they often have less top-level education than the managers and accountants running their companies.
Research shows that about a quarter of the world’s wealthiest entrepreneurs dropped out of university or high school before going on to join the financial elite, a greater proportion than those who achieved masters degrees.
It shows dropout billionaires are more prevalent than just household names such as Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates or Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg — something legions of MBA students may ponder as they rack up large debts in pursuit of a ticket to future riches.
