[RGV Pony]

Loyd would be my guess

[One Trick Pony]

Big deal

[smupony94]

Maybe one will pay for the IPF

Feels weird to type this but my old classmate from '93(just because he's young to be a billionaire:

Tom Dundon

[One Trick Pony]

I'd like to run up a billion dollars worth of debt

The DMN ran an article a couple of years ago that said SMU had more billionaire law school graduates than any other school.

So I don't understand why we only have 3 now, unless some dropped off.

SMU has five from the law school alone, so this this is just for the undergrad.

The law extends even to business interests? In any case, Forbes says he is worth about $1.55 Billion, so she would be worth about $0.775 billion.

this article is not close to accurate

UT has Dell, Moncrief, McCombs, Moulay Abdallah ben Ali Alaoui, Jeffery Hildebrand, David Geffen, Hicks and probably several others as well

[gostangs]

Hicks is not a billionaire. Doubt geffen is either.

[Pony81]

Hildebrand probably tumbled out of billionaire status with oil at $45. McCombs was never a billionaire.
Dell is. Moncrief could be but is also oil patch wealth.

Moulay Abdallah ben Ali Alaoui is not a billionaire either. Not sure how the article is defining 'alumni'; but David Geffen and Michael Dell did not earn their degrees from there. Yes, the schools count the, not sure the criteria the article is using. I think they are considering only those with degrees.

"Penn has more billionaires among its alumni than any other university in the United States. 21 current billionaires have undergraduate or graduate degrees from the University of Pennsylvania."
