The 10 colleges with the richest alumni in the world

Wealth-X, a firm that does research and valuations on ultra-high net worth (UHNW) individuals, has revealed where the world's wealthiest people went to college.

Wealth-X reports that in 2014, the world's UHNW population — those with net assets of $30 million or more —totaled 211,275 individuals.

All ten universities are in the US. Harvard University came out on top with 3,130 UHNW alumni, nearly double that of the No. 2 college, University of Pennsylvania.

The sole west coast college, Stanford University, rounds out the top three.

Considering some of the world's richest self-made billionaires dropped out of Harvard, Stanford, University of Chicago, and other schools on this list, the numbers of UHNW alumni could be even higher had they graduated.

Still, 5% of the UHNW population are alumni of these ten colleges.
