The Most Popular College Majors For America’s Billionaires | Forbes

Economics awwww yeahhhh

The best Major of all time

Lol just because those billionaires chose that specific major doesn’t mean that you’ll become one too. If that was the case, there would be millions of billionaires roaming the world but obviously that’s not the case. However on a realistic standpoint, if you want a major that will make you wealthy, at least in 7-10 years of your career, you should major in STEM. Computer Science, Engineering, Healthcare, and Sciences.

Engineering and business are not one field. There are many engineering fields and many business fields. As for computer science, it is one field. Therefore, if you compare those who studied computer science with those who studied industrial engineering, your words will be statistically accurate, but you compared dozens of majors with one specialization, and this is not fair from a statistical point of view. And I think if you compare the field of computer science with every field, it will be one of the best fields.

Economics for the win, Graduated with my Econ degree in December 2022 🎉

With that being said, make sure to take extra classes in stats, math, and computer programming to be competitive out here 😅

Love that mark went to grad school before undergrad

Why should I go into IT, if all the jobs are in the most expensive cities in the world. They all make 100k and pay 60k in rent alone.

Economics, Business are always BEST things to do! They are highly versatile combines everything from psychology to law, from politics to technology etc and applies in real world.

I was an economics major. I’m not rich, but well off. Currently 36 with $400k net worth.

Waiting for AI to take jobs.

Billionaires are billionaires because most of them are exceptionally entrepreneurial to begin with and they worked their butts off to get to where they are today. Luck plays a critical role in their success as well. So... 99.99% of others who major in the 3 subjects won't make billionaires. Don't get your hopes up.

They all came from money.

You better give us a list of top 10 best business/economic colleges

Ik y’all didn’t just include Melinda on that picture w/ out Bill Gates lol

No math and statistics majors lol guess I’m screwed

This video is really stupid. Only 9.8% of billionaires are less than 50 years old. Of course, there are not going to be a lot of computer science majors.

If anyone's reading this don't just go by this list and select your major. Think about what you like the most and what kind of work will you be doing after it and whether you like it or not and whether you will be able to do it or not.

My sister is major in finance, she isnt a billionaire yet. What are you talking about

if you take crack and play the lotto, you might end up like one of these guys.

I took environmental studies

I really hope that people don't choose thise careers only because they want to be rich... that's a good way to end up unhappy

In 10 years when all things are computerized and crypto rules in terms of quick payment, you'll need to build complex systems that only CS majors can do, not your business and finance people. We'll see the billionaire backgrounds then

Yeah but which business major? Accounting, Finance, Marketing......?

English isn’t on this list?!?!?!?

Computer Science Major

I was proud of CS degree in an engineering university where most of the Engineers graduates are jobless but I am making a handsome amount before I am about to be graduate, but the comment section is Silly about CS I will still considered CS as an engineering major because I have experienced both and planning to complete my Master in Engineering so I don't have to see these comments disappoint me again (sorry for the English because programmer don't mind it)

I think the whole “college is useless” thing most entrepreneurs sell isn’t true. It all depends on where you go, in state vs out of state, and if you major in something useful.

is finance consdered a business major? ( im not american)

Computer Sciences
Engineering Studies
Economics
Business Degree
MBA

What about to to college for finance

What if I'm a Computer Engineer?

Bachelors is the new high school diploma

probably because people who work in science dont want the hassle or unethical undertones of becoming and/or being a billionaire

Eww. Imagine majoring in business, rather than something useful.

Oh, geez, good to know. Have my degree, just have to wait for the billions now

Now tell the majors of self-made billionaires not all billionaires

F*ck Tech... Business people, we rule!

Political science
Economics
Computer science
Bussiness degree
MBA degree
Engineering
Math degree
General bussiness degree

So the rule of thumb is: when you'e born in a rich family your chances of getting richer gets exponentially bigger

It’s really intelligence acceptance. Someone who doesn’t understand military will find out the hard way

I think a lot of computer science majors are too young to become billionaires yet. Moreover, computer science pays well but there aren't that many who become extremely wealth compared to public perception

No one did accounting?
:(

There's alot of statistical bias and variables lost along the way. The world is forever changing and evolving and if your metric for what makes a successful billionaire is a group of 40 year olds and older then your obviously excluding so many emerging fields, growing economies and educations around the globe.
Give it few decades when today's 18 year old freshmen become the next billionaires

Does that mean my gender studies degree will not make me a billionaire?

The thumbnail looked a lot like Toby Maguire

My pumpkin patch went to college

> Be me
> Do computer science
> Expect to see it in this video
> The fist thing they say is that it is not in the list
> Cry

The dream of the oppressed is to become the opressor.

Will corporate law be relevant?
