Some of the biggest billionaires in the world come from some of the top notch colleges. And recently a very interesting study was done by Statista, which tried to find out which college produces the largest number of billionaires.

No prizes for guessing the right answer r- Harvard it is. It has 35 billionaires in its alumni with a collective net worth of $309 billion. This is almost three times as many billionaire graduates as second-placed Columbia University. Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg are notable billionaires who dropped out of Harvard and among those who graduated. Michael Bloomberg is considered the wealthiest with a net worth of about $40 billion.

The gap between the number one and number two is quite a bit – Columbia has 12 billionaires who have a total wealth of $171.7 billion. What Columbia has which Harvard does not have is the world's wealthiest and probably the most respected graduate, Warren Buffet. The business magnate graduated with a master's degree in economics in 1951.

Stanford University comes in at number three with 10 billionaires. Together, these three institutions have given billionaires who have a net worth of just under $149.2 billion. The only non-American university to make the list is Oxford in the UK at number 12 with 4 billionaires among its alumni with a collective $28.4 billion fortune.
