Alexandr Wang dropped out of college and became a young billionaire anyway.

The worst lesson you can take from Alexandr Wang becoming a billionaire is “drop out of school.” His parents were both PhD physicists. He grew up learning math and physics at home and winning math competitions. By the time he left college, he already had years of serious education behind him. He promised his worried parents he'd eventually return. He never did. Everyone talks about the dropout. Almost nobody talks about the childhood that made it possible.
