Couldn't tell you


I'm fine with giving the award to Les. He donated $100 million to the university a few years back. Not sure if Yang has ever made a donation.

Yang would probably be locked up by the communist party for giving a donation. The stuff going on in China right now is ridiculous, but that is another topic for a different board.

Rob and Jim both went to Arkansas and are each worth over 33 billion. I would say we win this game.

*EDIT EDIT* Richard Kinder's worth $10 billion



How recent is that? Most of his wealth is in KMI, and it's taken a beating lately.

I think the Lamptons would give him a good run on that figure.

ETA: someone beat me to that.

Per Mirriam-Webster, an alumnus is someone who was once a student at a particular school, college, or university. In fact, most all sources I can find define alumnus or alumni this way. A graduate is not the same as an alumnus, necessarily.

Correct. Anyone that attends a school is an alumni. They did not have to actually graduate.

I would imagine some fairly wealthy foreign nationals have matriculated at Vanderbilt.
