Get to know 10 universities that produce the most ultra-rich in Asia Pacific
Published in Amwal Al Ghad on 03 - 08 - 2019

U.S. universities produce the vast majority of the world's wealthiest grads, a new research suggests. Yet, beyond the borders of the booming billionaire hub, higher education institutions globally are minting multimillionaires at a rapid rate.
CNBC Make It had a look at research firm Wealth-X's University Ultra High Net Worth Alumni Rankings 2019 to get to know which universities across Asia Pacific have produced the most ultra-wealthy alumni — defined as those with a net worth of $30 million or more.
To produce the list, Wealth-X first collected a sample of ultra-wealthy individuals known to have a diploma, including both undergraduate and graduate degrees, from colleges and universities around the world, and tallies their total wealth as a group. Researchers then used that sample and Wealth-X's database to estimate how many super-rich alumni each school has likely graduated in total.
The overall ranking is based on the known ultra-wealthy alumni population from each university.
Singaporean, Chinese, and Indian universities dominated the top spots globally, according to Wealth-X, with the Southeast Asian city state's National University of Singapore stealing first place (21st globally).
China's Tsinghua University and Peking University, both in Beijing, ranked in second and third place, respectively. They were followed by India's University of Mumbai and University of Delhi, in that order.
The top 10 was rounded out by four universities in Australia and one in Taiwan. All universities fell within the top 50 of the global ranking.
Interestingly, the number of ultra-wealthy alumni was not necessarily reflective of total overall wealth. While Singapore's NUS produced the greatest number of known ultra-wealthy alumni, the University of Mumbai accounted for the highest level of estimated alumni wealth, at a staggering $1 trillion.
Notably, however, at 17%, that university had the highest proportion of graduates with significant inherited wealth — a number equaled only by the University of Melbourne.
