Bill Gates may have dropped out of Harvard, but the school has still turned out a few billionaires.

So have USC and UCLA.

In fact, the Forbes list of billionaire universities contains four Pac-10 schools in the top 10.

Some of the methodology is debatable. NYU has five dropout billionaires who could be included. Phil Knight -- Mr. Oregon himself -- counts for Stanford too. It's also unclear how many billionaires started out with a large inheritance and how many started from scratch.
