These Billionaires Never Finished College

Jack Taylor

If you ever needed a rental car chances are you may have considered going to Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Thanks to Taylor, people around the world can get great deals on rental cars. Taylor attended Washington University in St. Louis but he decided to drop out to participate in World War II.

While in the war he was a pilot but once he got out, he returned to St. Louis to start Enterprise with only seven cars to begin with. He named it Enterprise after the aircraft carrier he served during World War II. Taylor passed away in 2016 leaving his family with a net worth of over $5 billion.

Larry Ellison

If you have heard of Oracle then it is crucial to know of their CEO, Larry Ellison. Ellison went to school at the University of Illinois and even received Science Student of the Year while attending. Once he finished his second year he decided he was finished for good and dropped out once his adoptive mother passed away.

Ellison is considered the third richest man in America with $43 billion as his net worth. The funny thing is, he enrolled back into the same school the next fall session but ended up dropping out again. Technically he’s a two-time dropout.
