<h1>15....not bad. But let's get that up!</h1>
<p>Also, the numbers dont add up though, our ultra wealthy (defined as NW of > $30 million) net worth total is higher than several of the schools ranked higher than us...strange.</p>
<p>GO BLUE!</p>
<p>Not too surprising since we are one of the largest schools on that list. </p>
<p>However, I don’t know how accurate Harvard’s truly is. I have a feeling that they are including people like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerburg, though they don’t actually qualify in the definition of alumni since they dropped out. Yet, I could be wrong in the case that they weren’t counted making Harvard’s number even more impressive.</p>
<p>got a link?</p>
<p>Here’s the link:</p>

<p>Although in terms of the number of wealthy alums, Michigan was #15, it terms of the value of their net worth, Michigan was #10. Go Blue!</p>
<p>Boston University??? thats a surprise… also Yale #8 and Princeton at #10 (tied with Michigan in terms of net worth). wow. what makes NYU that good??? #5? Harvards net worth is more than double the closest one.</p>
<p>JRswish, BU and NYU are not that surprising. Those two universities attract a lot of wealthy boarding school kids. They are extremely expensive to attend, moderately difficult to get into and provide very little financial aid. I would say that they are the destination of choice for many wealthy kids.</p>
<p>These types of surveys have limited usefulness because they really can only report self-disclosed or publicly disclosed wealth. </p>
<p>I know many people who have high or even ultra high net worth who dress and act just like anyone else on the street. They wear jeans and drive Toyotas. </p>
<p>Surveys of billionaires are easy to track because they almost always have huge sums of stock holdings that must be reported in company filings.</p>
