Harvard Billionaire Alumni Archetype Sample

In the Wealth-X Billionaire Census 2017, we compared the profiles of billionaires who graduated from Harvard against the profile of an average global billionaire, revealing the following differences:

SOME 60% OF TODAY’S HARVARD BILLIONAIRES ARE STILL BASED PRIMARILY IN THE US BUT THOSE WHO ATTENDED ARE SPREAD ACROSS AN ADDITIONAL 31 COUNTRIES

  • Inherited wealth is more evident in this group than among other billionaire archetypes
  • Almost all billionaire graduates are male and their average net worth of $4.7bn is substantially higher than the global mean
  • While 60% of today’s Harvard billionaires are still based primarily in the US, those who attended are spread across an additional 31 countries

How is an Archetype Made?

Wealth-X’s preeminent database of dossiers on the ultra-wealthy is the source of our archetyping process. Our dossiers include rich information about an individual’s education, businesses history, investments, wealth profile, known associates, interests, and philanthropic giving. From this information, Wealth-X clusters the subtle differences between these individuals to crearte representative archetypes. An archetype allows an organisation to tailor an effective engagement strategy based on the profile of a typical donor or client.
