Having a rich daddy gives you a leg up in society, but if that didn’t work out for you, at least go to a rich school… so then you can be rich, eventually. These private colleges have such deep pockets, they make Macy’s and MGM Resorts’ net worth look like loose change. Harvard University – the richest college in town and leading Yale by a whopping $13 billion – could buy Prudential, General Mills, or Nokia with its 36 billion endowment.
