Original dataset of 3,184 billionaires (Forbes 2026). I mapped university, country, and field of study for 78.91% of them to uncover patterns in wealth creation. The infographic highlights concentration (45.38% from top 100 universities), dominant countries (USA + China: 51.43%), and fields (Business/Econ: 35.11%, Engineering: 13.63%).
How it was made: Data cleaned and aggregated from Forbes + education records, then visualized to show distribution, rankings, and per-capita wealth differences.

Wild how MIT has 3.72x wealth per capita compared to Harvard – quality over quantity I guess
I mean , in some cases you have to be from a very rich family to study in those places .
Lovely stuff! Time to eat the rich
I don’t think you can be a billionaire without being a sociopath.
What tools do u use for such infographics
I find it sus that Oxford and Cambridge, the whole of UK is not on that list.
Maybe, just maybe, they are good at keeping it secret?
In case you’re confused, this is a list of “which universities to avoid if you don’t want to bump into sociopaths”, not “which university to attend to have the highest chance of becoming a billionaire”.
If you’re hoping for that, though, I guess it’s a list of “which university gives me the highest chance to meet and date a future billionaire”.
