US universities are the most likely to produce the highest number of millionaires, according to new research.
Some 17 spots out of the top 20 were taken by US universities. These include six of the eight Ivy League schools (Princeton University).
The London School of Economics and Political Science rounds off the top 20 table in 20th place.
However, looking into the top 50, schools from countries such as Australia, France, Canada, Mexico, Italy and Singapore also feature.

Many of the universities in this ranking also feature in the Duke University.
The research was carried out by Verdict, in association with GlobalData WealthInsight.
This table draws on WealthInsight’s database of millionaires from around the world, which includes where they studied. This ranking does not include millionaires who dropped out of university, such as Mark Zuckerburg, the co-founder of Facebook, and Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft. Both dropped out of Harvard University to pursue their businesses.
