Want to be a billionaire? Try Cambridge.

Monday 8 April 2013








Cambridge University leads Europe and Asia in the number of billionaires among the university's alumni, a new report claims. 

Like stats? Dig into these: the combined wealth of Cambridge's billionaire alumni comes to $48 billion. Of note, Lord David Sainsbury [King's College], $1.1 billion and media magnate David Thomson [Selwyn] (otherwise known as the richest man in Canada), $20 billion. 

Though it's not all champagne and caviar for CambridgeHarvard Universality with 52 billionaires, reaches a combined wealth of $205 billion, more than four times that of Cambridge. Having had the co-founder of Facebook Eduardo Saverin there, ($2.2 billion) helps. What about Mark Zuckerberg? Didn't graduate (sorry Harvard).

However, the same report from Wealth-X, shows Cambridge as 19th in the world for the number of ultra high net worth alumni, with 361 equating to $93 billion. Oxford comes in has only $51 billion with 401 ultra high net worth alumni. Yes, "only". 

We are now putting together a plan of how Footprints can include those 361 ultra high net worth individuals from Cambridge University on our free Oxford walking tour , and those 401 ultra high net worth individuals from Oxford University on our Cambridge walking tour

Tell me a little more?

Footprints Tours represents a new approach to sightseeing. The idea started because we don't like seeing tourists exploited: we think it's crazy to ask you to pay for a tour before you have experienced it. We believe in the power of the customer and the power to freely indicate whether or not we merit a tip. So when you take one of our tours, you, the customer, decide how good the tour has been, and voluntarily give just as much as you want.
