Nine are in the United States, the billionaire capital of the world.

Graduating from Harvard is no guarantee that anyone will become a billionaire.

Fifty-two living billionaires hold a degree from the school, almost twice as many as those who graduated from second-place University of Pennsylvania, with 28 billionaire alumni.

Stanford, NYU, Columbia, MIT, Cornell, USC, and Yale. The U.K.’s Cambridge University is the only school outside the U.S. to make the list. Eleven of its recent grads are worth $1 billion or more.

The report points out that, although 68% of billionaires hold at least a four-year degree, a sheepskin “is not a prerequisite to then go on and amass a billion-dollar fortune,” since one in three billionaires either never went to college at all or didn’t stick around to finish.
