A business education is essential to anyone with larger than a job ambitions

Funny how many billionaires are out-there without an MBA.

Of the top 100 people listed by Forbes as the world’s richest, a grand total of 16 have MBAs. The highest-ranking MBA is Michael Bloomberg at number 11

Funny how many billionaires are out-there without an MBA.

The OP said "business education", not MBA. That article points out that a number of the top 100 richest who do not have a MBA do have a bachelor's degree in business administration (e.g. Warren Buffet) or dropped out of business school (e.g. Steve Ballmer). So it's not as cut and dried as that.

I think the issue might be that the exceedingly vast majority of people have no chance of becoming a billionaire and a lot of it is down to luck. On the other hand, an MBA might allow someone to become a millionaire while they are still young enough to enjoy it.
