<p>The concentration of wealth in so few, as in billionaires, is detrimental to society, overall. Specifically to the poor. For when so few have so much, it becomes impossible for so many to have just enough. So producing many billionaires doesn’t seem to be a positive thing, for any school on the list.</p>
<p>While the amount of money may seem insane, if they have earned it fairly, I don’t see a problem with it. Just maybe they produce jobs, spawn other businesses, donate to charity, create things that make life better.</p>
<p>@BillyMc - Billionaires create jobs. It’s that simple. </p>
<p>Among Americans, excluding Warren Buffet (who made his fortune as an investor), the six wealthiest billionaires are Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, the Walton family (collectively), Michael Bloomberg, Sergey Brin and Larry Page. The primary businesses they created employ over 2.5 million people. If you include all billionaires, their companies employ tens of millions. Not to mention the tens of millions employed by companies doing business with them. Not only have the billionaires created jobs, they collectively pay billions in taxes and have donated billions of dollars to charity.</p>

<p>These are also large schools: need to look at billionaires per capita rather than total. Most billionaires probably didn’t get there because of where they went to college, incidentally- quite a few (Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, etc.) were early drop-outs and didn’t even have a college education (but were smart enough to get in).</p>
<p>^ Dad2, relatively speaking, these are not “large schools.” My guess is that this is per capita, because if it were not, much larger state schools would probably have more billionaires total.</p>
<p>Actually, if you read the article, it states highest absolute numbers of billionaires, not per capita. Further, they are including business school graduates (e.g. Bloomberg is a Harvard MBA but his undergrad. was at Hopkins). Including business schools is completely misleading, as SLACs (Amherst, Williams, Swarthmore, etc.) are strictly undergraduate institutions.</p>
