While the rest of us were negotiating curfews and cramming for the SATs, some of the world's most successful entrepreneurs ditched high school to start building their fortunes.
Just what the US needs, another generalization to promote dropping out of school.
The article named 5, and that's out of how many drop-outs? Millions?
What are the chances of being a drop-out and becoming a millionaire?
It's all about percentages. There is a greater percentage chance to make money with an education than without. It is like playing Blackjack. Can you sometimes win a Blackjack hand if you hold with 12, sure! Would I recommend that players always hold when they have 12, no.
(to the peanut gallery, no I'm not a Blackjack expert. Hopefully you can see the point I am trying to make.)
4 out of the 5 listed were in the entertainment industry so no suprise there! And they had the audacity to include a Supermodel...wow...what a personal achievement based on hard work!

I love statistics. Let's talk about the chances of winning by putting everything on 16 black at a Las Vegas roulette wheel. What are the odds that you will be struck by lightning? I would put my money on the lightning, rather than being a high school dropout millionaire.
