Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and James Cameron We still don’t understand why some parents so want their children to get straight A’s in school. It has long been an established fact: C students are more likely to achieve success in life. And some millionaires are an example of this.

Of course, we do not encourage children to study poorly; we urge parents not to be paranoid if their child is not an excellent student.

Mark Zuckerberg

Mark Zuckerberg

This man has been occupying a leading position in the list of the richest people in the world for a year, and he didn’t even graduate from university! While studying at Harvard, Mark and his classmates created a social network, which today is one of the most popular social networks in the world.

Walt Disney

Walt Disney

Walt Disney dropped out of school at age 16 and achieved incredible heights! Although he didn’t come to animation right away. At age 14, Walt worked as a newspaper delivery boy and served as an ambulance driver during World War I. In 1920, he got a job as an artist in an advertising studio, although he did not even have a special education, and you see where this all led.

Henry Ford

Henry Ford

The founder of the Ford Motor Company also did not finish school, let alone higher education. Nevertheless, Ford found a solution to create cheaper cars that are no worse than their expensive counterparts. This decision brought him billions of dollars.

Coco Chanel

Coco Chanel

Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel was an orphan, which means that she could not dream of any higher education. However, her determination made the girl one of the most influential figures in the fashion world. It is thanks to Coco Chanel that girls all over the world wear black dresses and men’s cut suits.

James Cameron

James Cameron

The famous director once entered the university, but after a while he dropped out and married a waitress. His career as a director was inspired by Star Wars. First, he and his friends made a small short film, after which he was invited to work at the New World Pictures film studio. James’s first full-length film was Piranha 2: The Spawning, but he gained his fame, of course, after the release of The Terminator. And later he directed the most legendary film, Titanic.

John Rockefeller

John Rockefeller

You will be surprised, but the richest man in the world didn’t even finish school! He started working at the age of 16, after which he opened his own transportation company. Having accumulated money and knowledge, he opens the Standard Oil company. Today, almost all of the largest American oil companies are related to Standard Oil.

Mary Kay

Many people think that this is the name of the company! But no, this is a real person. Due to her marriage, she never graduated from university. Mary Kay worked in sales and had already retired, but the dream of opening her own company never left her. So she saved up and decided to open a small office for her company. Today Mary Kay Inc. Ranked one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For in America and the 10 Best Companies for Women.

Bill Gates

Bill Gates

Bill Gates has topped the Forbes list more than two dozen times. But he never graduated from Harvard. Like Zuckerberg, Bill and his classmate founded Microsoft while studying at Harvard. But in fairness, we note that in 2007 he did receive a doctorate from Harvard.
