10 Richest People Who Did Not Finish College

Mark Zuckerberg

The man who single handedly changed social interaction forever, did not finish college. Zuckerberg, after borrowing money from PayPal founder Pete Thiel, launched the social networking site which quickly took over the world. Not only did Facebook create an entirely new way to interact with the world, but it also provided one of the most sought after advertising venues around. Even Microsoft took notice in 2008 when they paid $243 million dollars for a 1.6% share. The website is believed to be worth about $15 billion dollars.

Walt Disney

This king of cartoons, is another super successful person who never received a high school diploma. In fact Disney despised high school so much that he wrote a letter to his high school principal outlining just how much he hated it. Disney’s lack of formal education did not stop the innovative creative from going on to realize his animation dreams.
