These Billionaires Never Finished College

Roman Abramovich

Roman Abramovich is Russian and he means business. He founded many people’s favorite soccer team, Chelsea Football Club. He also owns the private investment company, Millhouse LLC. He was an orphaned child and dropped out of the Moscow State Auto Transport Institute. He got his money from controversial oil export deals back in the ’90s.

His net worth is staggering at $8.5 billion. Pretty impressive for someone who spends most of his days looking over a soccer team. For any sports lover, that is the life; be a billionaire and the founder of a highly successful sports team. What is better than that?

Sheldon Adelson

You may not know too much about this guy but he is rolling in the dough. He is a gambling connoisseur and the CEO of Las Vegas Sands casino empire. He was already in business when he was 12 selling toiletries but gave that up to go to college. He dropped out of City College of New York in less than two years. He too joined the army, similar to Ralph Lauren.

Net worth at $26.5 billion, Adelson is a man who is all about moves. He went through various career paths before buying Sands Casino to add to his travel companies.
