These Billionaires Never Finished College

Michael Dell

Dude, you’re getting a Dell! That one catch phrase stuck in your head in the late ’90s and early 2000s, right? Now Dell’s advertising schemes involve using high-profile celebrities in their commercials. The CEO Michael Dell probably pays out of pocket to get them in the commercials. There is nothing wrong with that if you are making the type of money he is.

Dell dropped out at the University of Texas and has a net worth of $15.3 billion. While he was in college he started a company called PCS Limited. The success of it was enough for him to drop out and turn it into Dell.

Oprah

Oprah Winfrey is widely loved and respected in the entertainment world. For good reason too; she has given out gifts to her audience and she is probably one of the richest people in the media field. She didn’t get there solely with luck; she also followed her passion which is something many people don’t do.

In high school, she worked at the local radio station and that is when her passion grew. While she was at Tennesse State University, she got a job offer from a local TV station and left school to pursue her career her sophomore year. Oprah’s net worth is $2.9 billion.
