At the age of 25, Alexandr Wang, the co-owner of Scale AI, became the youngest self-made billionaire in the world.

While he is ranked third on the list of youngest billionaires, he stands out from the other two, who inherited their wealth.

Dropping out of one of the most prestigious tech schools in the country, Wang’s success can be attributed to his intellect, timing, and risk-taking.

From a young age, Wang excelled in mathematics and coding. By the age of 17, he had already landed a coding job at Quora, the leading question-and-answer site.

He went on to be accepted into the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), an accomplishment in itself, as it has an acceptance rate of only 6.7%. Wang’s IQ is unquestionable, and his self-taught coding skills have served him well.

Wang’s success can also be attributed to his timing. In the world of technology, new concepts and ideas must be instituted immediately to prevent others from capitalizing on them.

Hm

Drop out from the above mentioned institutions is way better than the first class graduate bragging up and down here

THEIR IS NOTHIN SPECIAL BEING BILLIONAIRES.because GOD GIVE US TALENTS. Is matter of environment and govt policy all of us who believe go be billionaires in few years

He dropped out from MIT, not UniJos or Eksu or Funai or Zamsu. He should not be your role model o to avoid stories that touch

Emulate him and drop out too

For undergraduates who ate finding it hard to...


This is a message for you... But remember this is Nigeria where govt policy dey kill dreams

It's time5for people to start getting admission, with the sole purpose of dropping out.

He’s in an environment where hard work and creativity pays. Emulate him while you live there. Try the same here and face tears. A word is enough for those with commonsense.

A first class material who decides to drop out should not be used to shame the other first class minds who probably are employed by Wang to grow his business. The guy is condemned to a life of entrepreneur and so your comparison is out of place. Besides intellectual prowess isn't measured by account balance. Nikolas Tesla changed the world but lived hand to mouth for decades and died penniless.

Wealth is created by ideas plus determination. If na by education professors go dey top billionaires chart year in year out

Congratulations to him, he found his bearing so early in life.

Na we be your best plug for everything Sexual enhancement tho

What a wow.....

His Name?

He created an application that made him a billionaire.

He already had the skills that kills poverty - programming.

Dropping out or graduating is irrelevant when you are already that highly skilled.

It applies to Nigeria to some extent. Get some mad skills and your certificate is irrelavant.
