The Richest Man in the World and President are both Wharton Grads

Elon Musk, the richest man on the planet and Donald Trump, the president, both were Wharton undergraduates. 

There has to be some significance here...how can it be possible that one school graduated two of the most powerful people on the planet??

both transferred in, both came from millionaire families. lmao, i already know that OP is a wharton undergrad. only a wharton undergrad would give a shit or say wharton and not university of pennsylvania

 

I'm not trying to hide the fact that I am. Just thought it was cool to point out. 

The only other time in history this happened was in 2009 when both Gates and Obama went to Harvard.

But still, never in history have both the president and richest person in the world gone to the same undergraduate institution.
