They are a top elite SLAC with a huge endowment. I'm not surprised one bit. I'm a little bit surprised that much lower ranked SLACs with limited resources also show.

I'd be interested to know if you do a similar ranking for entrepreneurs with a certain net worth and capitalization of their company, and who had no training beyond undergrad, whether a similar or very different list would be generated.
