If you have, you are not alone and i also do wonder all the time. But the truth of the matter is that most of these billionaires didnot go to school, some went but do not even have a degree let alone a highschool diploma.

 Bill Gates the founder of Microsoft dropped out of Havard University to start his own company.

 Carlos Slim who is the founder of Mexican telecom company and also the founder of another holding company called Grupo Carso which deals in real estate and was able to buy shares in a Mexican bank at a tender age of 12 years old. 

Carlos Slim graduated with a Bachelors degree in Civil Engineering from the National Autonomous University of Mexico.

Amacio Ortega who is the founder of the Zara fashion brand dropped out of school while he was having a tender age of 14 so that he could find a job in order to help his family. He later found work with a shirt maker and that was where he got the skills to establish the fashion brand called Zara.

Larry Ellison who is the founder of Oracle dropped out of two Universities before he decided to venture into business. 

The biggest question you could be asking yourself is what kind of education does a person actually need to become a billionaire? 

One needs an Education inorder for them to become a billionaire but the kind of education that a person needs is what i could call self-education or teaching yourself not formal education.

There are many professors and people with formal education who are struggling financially, therefore having formal education doesnot guarantee you financial success.

When you are out of school, you will learn from the failures and successes that you encounter when you start your own business. 

You will learn to sell by actually selling to customers and you will learn to save money buy actually saving and that is best education that you can have which will make you become a billionaire.

 The only education that you need is self-education and nothing more.
