Universities play a pivotal role in the formative phase of a life of an individual. Universities train students by providing those techniques and knowledge that are basic to be successful. Monetary success is regarded as a large chunk of success in anyone's life. But huge money making is not easy as one may think; it requires some extraordinary talent, power or resilience that is not common. No doubt it is the personal extraordinary characteristics of an individual which can lead him/her to a terrific financial success, but the role of the universities in preparing or polishing the capacities of individuals in earning money that goes in million and then billions, cannot be ignored.
There are many universities that have their share in making a billionaire. According to the latest statistics, University of Pennsylvania has topped the list with the highest number of billionaires.
