These Billionaires Never Finished College

Who Said Getting Rich Means Going to College?The general consensus from people in society is that if you graduate college you will make more money than if you did not. However, as we’ve seen, this topic is somewhat subjective because there are those who bring in tons of cash without college degrees and others who still work fast food jobs without that college degree.

On the other hand, you have those who go to college but abruptly decide to quit and then end up making more money than those who finished and those who never even went. Of course, dropping out doesn’t mean you’ll make billions. But for these billionaires, it apparently didn’t hurt.

Ralph Lauren

So for all of you familiar with said polo, can any of you name the guy behind the brand? That’s right, his name is Ralph Lauren. And if you see someone wearing a Ralph Lauren polo, that lets people know they spent a little extra money to look good that day.

The creator, Ralph Lauren, went to Baruch College for two years but dropped out to join the army. Then, once he was done with the army, he designed neckties for Beau Brummel which lead to the launch of Polo. He has a net worth of $7 billion thanks to that horse.
