I begin the blog by warning you all that “my intention in writing this blog is not to urge you to pack up from your college and jump into business”, but at the same time, I believe that “money is nothing, but it can give you many things “. Here with Blogs, meet some celebrities who were sheep in college, some of whom were kicked out of college, but now, they are leading the world!
Generally, there is a famous saying in the world “Study is the key to success” but some people are laughing at this. Because they are toppers through hard work, but they have less bookish knowledge. They are setting an example in the world that a college degree is not the only factor a personality can get talent, fame, or money!!
Without wasting any time let’s meet them.
1. Bill Gates
Today the world knows a name as the 5th richest man in the world is Bill Gates with USD 111 billion.
But there came a time when he dropped out of Harvard College because he wanted to focus on Microsoft. Now he has come a long way from that dropout incident because success hides everything. Nobody cares, Bill Gates might as well be the college he dropped out of once because he now owns the biggest software brand.
2. Lady Gaga
Would you be wondering why I am including this name at the top of this list, there is a reason…! My friends, you generally believe that businessmen are only technocrats, but Lady Gaga had set a milestone in the industry of arts and culture!
The real name of this star is Stefani Germanotta, you must have heard about her singing and countless concerts. But did you know that he dropped out of New York University at the Tisch School of the Arts? She dropped out of school to focus on her music career.
She is an example; geniuses are made not born!
3. Ellen De Generes
‘A woman with talent’ is a word that I want to use for this comedy queen. Her beloved show and her voice had made you laugh for decades. She left his studies midway. She completed only one semester at the University of New Orleans. She also chooses her passion for the show over her studies and has no regrets now as success screams louder than any minor mistake of the past.

4. Steve Jobs
A big name in our list who was a school dropout yet a successful millionaire now!
He is the biggest pioneer of the computer age. Apple Inc. That’s the brand he built. Which is possible only by his will. He did not complete his studies and dropped out of 3 schools but followed his passion and rose to the top. Though the legend is with us now his great world made him irreplaceable in the field of the richest successful man.
5. Steven Spielberg
A self-made millionaire with an Oscar in hand, the perfect success story just might come true for this Hollywood legend. Steven Spielberg dropped out of college at the age of 22 to pursue a contract with Universal. Though he has earned billions of dollars and the love of families, 6 aspires to complete his degree at the age of 55. And he did it.
6. Oprah
A name who left her studies midway to get a chance in Chicago morning talk shows, in which she did amazing work. But later she completed his studies and did research in communication.
It is a name that once again proved that passion precedes studies, but I remind you that, only if you succeeded!
7. Mark Zuckerberg
I know this name no need for any introduction! You are living your half day on his platform Meta.
But let me tell you that he dropped his studies at Harvard to start his empire of Facebook. I must say it was the best decision for him, he is on the list of top billionaires.
So, yes, these are some of the people I have mentioned who have set an example by dropping out of studies and making it to the top millionaire list. These are examples from which you can take a lesson that only good education and grades are not the key to success, you can also succeed by following your passion!
