Fordham University boasts several prominent billionaire alumni and ultra-high-net-worth business titans who made monumental marks in finance, private equity, industry, and corporate leadership. Chief among them is Mario Gabelli, the billionaire value investor, financial analyst, and founder of GAMCO Investors, who earned his undergraduate degree at Fordham before donating tens of millions to the university, leading to the naming of the Gabelli School of Business. Another notable billionaire graduate is Eugene Shvidler, an international oil, energy, and investment magnate with extensive global holdings. Additionally, billionaire industrialist Lorenzo Mendoza, head of Venezuela's largest food and beverage conglomerate Empresas Polar, and real estate developer Donald Trump, who completed two years of undergraduate studies at Fordham before transferring, highlight the university's strong network of influential global wealth and corporate executives.
