Altrata, a UK-based company that specializes in providing services to the wealthy, released a report in mid-May on the characteristics of alumni communities at universities around the world. A notable point is that the report rankededucational institutions based on the number of super-rich alumni, in which the US is the country with the most universities that have trained super-rich alumni, with 17 schools in the top 20.
Specifically, Harvard University in the US leads the ranking with an estimated 18,000 super-rich alumni, accounting for about 4% of the total number of super-rich people worldwide. This number is double that of the second-ranked school, the University of Pennsylvania (about 9,300). The remaining three schools in the top 5 are Stanford University (about 8,400), Columbia University (6,400) and New York University (6,200), all of which are American schools.
Meanwhile, if only counting schools outside the US, Oxford and Cambridge in the UK hold the first and second positions, with 4,900 and 4,700 super-rich alumni, respectively. If counting in Asia, the top is the National University of Singapore with 3,400 people, followed by Tsinghua University (China) with 1,400, Delhi University (India) with 1,200 and Peking University (China) with 1,200. Vietnam has no representatives named.
Below are 22 universities with the most super-rich alumni in the world :
| Ranking | University | Nation |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Harvard | America |
| 2 | Pennsylvania | America |
| 3 | Stanford | America |

A notable trend, according to the report, is that most of the universities outside the US with large alumni are public schools. Meanwhile, in the US, the trend is completely opposite, with private universities leading and dominating the rankings. The countries and territories outside the US that appear in the rankings are the UK, China, India, Canada, France, Australia, Singapore, Italy, Lebanon and Hong Kong.
The report added that the total number of ultra-wealthy alumni of the 20 universities outside the US (about 34,400 people) is still lower than the total number of ultra-wealthy alumni of the top three US universities. "This affirms the strong academic reputation and strong appeal of the US higher education system, which is home to many elite schools and offers a clear path to wealth," the report said.
However, the proportion of ultra-wealthy alumni who are foreign is significantly higher at non-US schools than at US schools.
According to Altrata, to estimate the number of ultra-rich alumni at each university, the research team mainly relied on two sources: the Wealth-X database and the Wealth and investable assets model. The report did not specify the time period for the statistics, but said that the data was collected from 2022 to 2025, and this is the second time this type of study has been published (the first was in 2022).
