The billionaire school-drop out saga is a myth

This year, the world’s billionaires clocked in an aggregate net worth of $6.48 trillion, according to the Forbes Billionaires list released this month, with the usual suspects topping
the list – including Bill Gates ($75 billion), Inditex (ITX.MC) founder Amancio Ortega ($67 billion) and Berkshire Hathaway’s (BRK-B)  Warren Buffett ($60.8 billion).
While stories of billionaires who dropped out of high school or college (specifically Microsoft’s (MSFT) Bill Gates and Facebook’s (FB) Mark Zuckerberg) make plenty of headlines, the reality is that most billionaires have a bachelor’s degree or higher. Just 14% of billionaires have less than a college degree; meanwhile 52% have a bachelor’s degree, 27% a master’s degree and 7% a doctorate, the GoCompare analysis revealed.
