7 Richest Universities in the World

It’s a well known fact that if you’re trying to get a top grade education in today’s society, it’s probably going to cost you a hefty penny. There’s loads of countries in the world where getting an education is pretty much equal to starting your life off with a huge debt. The other side of this story usually implies that if your education costs so much, the universities involved have a huge source of income in its students. Pretty much the only other source of income universities have, come from gifts.

Let’s take a look at the richest universities in the world. And by “richest”, I mean “with the highest market value”. Oh and I’ll start off with a small spoiler: due to how the American educational system works, all their universities are some of the richest in the world.

University of Texas System

While this university isn’t really well-known or considered a “top tier” university, the reason it has a $30,9 billion market value is because it has a lot more students than most expensive, exclusive universities do. Simple reason is that, as the name implies, it’s a university system and not a single institution. The system contains 8 universities, which means they’re kind of cheating but I’ll allow them on this list anyway.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Also known as MIT, this university has a market value of $16,5 billion. That’s not even half of what some other big universities have, but it’s still considered to be the best university if you want a technical-oriented degree, like computer sciences for example.

Princeton University

At a market value of $25,9 billion, Princeton University is the smallest of the big universities, financially speaking. Their market value is showing an amazing rise however, having grown almost 9% in a single year.

Harvard University

I’m guessing it’s not a surprise to anyone that this one made the list. Their value is about $38,3 billion. In case you were wondering, that officially makes them the richest university in the world. As a comparison, the wealthiest British university, Cambridge, has a market value of only £4 billion.

Stanford University

Still in the high numbers, Stanford has a comfortable market value of $26,46 billion. It may not seem like much considering some of the other numbers that are getting thrown around here, but it’s still good enough to get them a solid spot as one of the top five richest universities in the world.

University of Pennsylvania

This modest $13,8 billion university is another strong grower. In a single year, their value has increased nearly 13%, which is just amazing if you think about it. If they can keep this up for a few years, it won’t be long until they’re on the top of this list.

Yale University

Yale only has a somewhat modest market value of $29,4 billion, which is kind of surprising. Their biggest competitor, Harvard, has a value that’s almost a third higher. I guess that makes honest competition pretty much impossible, right?

Six Christians Arrested For Destroying Traditional Worshipers’ Shrine In Enugu

The police in Enuug State say six persons have been arrested over their alleged involvement in the burning down of shrines in Umuaji, Ezeagu Local Government Area. DailyPost gathered that the suspects, members of the Indigenous Christians of Umuaji, carried out the act during their special crusade. The group reportedly claimed that the burnt shrines were responsible for the backwardness of the community and her indigenes, adding that they had the approval of the natives to destroy the shrines as part of spiritual cleansing of the area. But while christians in the area were celebrating the destruction of the shrines, the four priests in-charge of the burnt shrines reported the arson to the police which led to the arrest of Nnaeme and members of his group. Police spokesman in the state, Ebere Amaraizu, who confirmed the incident to DailyPost on Sunday, stated that the police has commenced full scale inv...
