State record in peoplesoft. The total net worth of theSigma Alpha Mu billionaires on the Forbes 400 is less than a quarter of the Beta Theta Pi billionaires. This dramatic difference is due to two Beta Theta Pi alumni: the Koch brothers, each having a net worth of $53.5B. Phi Kappa Psi has the second-highest figure as a result of Michael Bloomberg's $51.8B net worth. With fraternity members having higher average earnings, we expect there to be some overlap between fraternity membership and those who have a high net worth. By our count, at least 34 of the billionaires on the Forbes 400 list were in fraternities. The most common fraternity is Sigma Alpha Mu, with seven billionaires.
