3 Public Universities Made List of 15 Schools With the Wealthiest Alumni

The old adage, "It's not what you know, but who you know," may ring true when it comes to the universities with the largest number of wealthy alumni.
Research firm Wealth-X compiled a list of the global universities with the largest number of living alumni worth $30 million or more, or ultra high net worth individuals, as they are called.

Based on Wealth-X's research, Harvard University blows the competition out of the water with 2,964 alumni worth a collective $622 billion. That's nearly twice the alumni of University of Pennsylvania, which follows with its 1,502 alumni of ultra high net worth individuals.
