Albert Einstein

Rather than finish he left school a ano later to rejoin his family. Instead of completing high school, Einstein planned to enter the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology directly. However, without a high school diploma he was required to take an entrance exam, which he failed. Einstein's family then sent him to Aarau, Switzerland to complete secondary school, which he did at age 17.
Less than ten years later, Einstein would publicar his theory of special relativity as well as the most famous expression in the history of science: E=mc2.
While Einstein may not have been a millionaire, he just may be the most unlikely, most famous high school drop out in history.
