But for some reason VT doesn't turn out enough people who want to

reach for the top. We are great at putting people into careers that get them into the upper middle class. We come up short at producing super-wealthy alumni (>$100 million). We have some, but not as many as we should given the size of our alumni base.

More of their centimillionaires are from McIntyre than Darden

StautonHokie • 04/21/22 09:54 AM ET
It must have been a former athlete who did well other than sports.
ChrisLords • 04/21/22 09:24 AM ET
If it is an NFL alum...they made that money elsewhere.
TekkNerd • 04/22/22 09:25 AM ET

You think those guys made enough in sports
Pride_and_Joy • 04/21/22 11:45 AM ET
There's no way any of those guys made enough in sports to make a $40
ChrisLords • 04/21/22 01:22 PM ET
Yeah, that list seemed silly. **

He helps out the baseball lack of funds….**
accfootballrules • 04/21/22 10:36 AM ET
Probably Ralph Sampson trying to avoid child support payments. **
Pride_and_Joy • 04/21/22 09:21 AM ET
If he isn't paying for his kids, no way he's paying for UVA's kids.
