Number of billionaires is a pretty strange metric. Thanks, Forbes.

  +1. Then HBS or McKinsey should be in the lead here when compared to any other organization. Point is that PayPal mafia planted the seeds of the the social media revolution; unsure if DE Shaw is even a close second on impact.

    Depends on what you think Amazon's impact is, I guess, and how much of that you're willing to credit to DE Shaw.

    You think so? I count 4 or 5 billionaire McL alumni -- Louis Gerstner (probably), Michael Pearson (for now), Sheryl Sandberg, George Gillett Jr., Silvio Scaglia. Maybe more on an absolute basis, but it's out of 10,000's of alumni.

      Yeah exactly. McKinsey burns through 100-200 associates a year in the US alone.
