Studying at a certain university can help a person’s career fate. Those who graduate from elite campuses are seen as having more potential in the world of work. Not only because of their name, several universities are known to produce quality graduates, especially since they have performed well from the start until they are accepted there. It is not surprising that these students will become rich people. Which universities have made the most billionaires?

Meanwhile, another university comes from England, namely Cambridge. Most of the successful graduates who are registered have a net worth of at least $ 30 million or around Rp.446 billion which is referred to as UHNW (Ultra High Net Worth Individual).

Several university names are familiar and often appear on the lists of the world’s best universities, such as Harvard and Stanford. There is also a university that dropped in the previous year’s list, namely Yale.
