Not all billionaires quit college to start a business in a garage. Would Bill Gates truly be Bill Gates if he hadn’t attended Harvard University — where he had access to the best computer equipment and resources in the market — for some time at least? META CEO Mark Zuckerberg replicated Gates’ passion (and his decision to drop out of an Ivy League), but let’s not forget that Facebook was birthed within the very dorms of Harvard. On the other hand, Elon Musk hosted large, ticketed house parties at the University of Pennsylvania, so he could pay for its tuition fees.
The one thing Gates, Zuckerberg, and Musk have in common, other than being the world’s top billionaires, are fascinating stories from their university days. However, let’s first take a look at where they were enrolled, the degrees they pursued, and, in some cases, when they decided to drop out.
