Thanks! Your first observation is a very important one that hadn’t occurred to me – I assumed that it was the undergraduate program that was being discussed. Are you sure that your interpretation is right (e.g. based on reading the original paper) or is it just a best guess?
Also Harvard’s hegemony on this list is less of a reflection of its current position than its position decades ago, when the world’s rich (who disproportionally are at the end of their careers) were educated.
Harvard’s wealthy alumni, include academy award-winning actress Natalie Portman, who is worth $32million and George W Bush, worth an estimated $35million.
George Bush went to Yale for undergrad. He went to Harvard for his Master’s in Business Administration.
The fact that Penn in is second place is extremely suggestive that they are including business schools, although it could be the effect of the business school on the rest of the school (attitude, ability to get into finance, etc).
(I would disregard solipsist’s quote because it not from the original source.)

Right, this makes sense
It is a guess based on this line:
George Bush went to Yale for undergrad. He went to Harvard for his Master’s in Business Administration.
Good point, thanks.
