<p>Pretty good company. The article said that USC produced nine billionaires. I wonder who these nine are. George Lucas, Chris DeWolfe (co-founder of myspace), anyone know who the others are?</p>

<p>@sfgiants - you used the 2008 edition. The current 2009 edition is listed and linked below. </p>

<p>One should note that at some universities the number of billionaires have dropped from 2008 to 2009. This change is no doubt due to the current state of our economy. </p>

<p>Anybody noticed that NYU completely dropped off the list from 2008 to 2009? Either they made a mistake or the financial types that likely dominated the list took a big bath.</p>
