According to comprehensive reports from Worldway, a survey of global ultra-high-net-worth individuals reveals that two-thirds of those surveyed hold university degrees. Most are engaged in the financial industry and reside in international cities such as London. The University of Pennsylvania is the university that has produced the most billionaires globally.
According to reports, UBS Group and a financial information center in Singapore surveyed over 2,300 billionaires worldwide and found that two-thirds have received higher education, one-quarter have attended graduate school, and one-tenth hold doctoral degrees.
These billionaires have an average personal net worth of at least 620 million pounds. Most work in finance, banking, or investment. The majority received their higher education in the United States and frequently donate to their alma maters after achieving professional success. They mostly reside in international cities such as London, Moscow, and New York.
According to the survey, the top 10 universities with the most billionaires are, in order: University of Pennsylvania, Harvard University, Yale University, University of Southern California, Princeton University, Cornell University, Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley, University of Mumbai, and the London School of Economics. Renowned British institutions, Oxford and Cambridge, failed to make the top 20.
