- As Gen Z questions the value of higher education, Figma CEO Dylan Field has become the latest tech billionaire to make it big without a college degree, joining the likes of Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, and Bill Gates. Thanks to his company’s roaring IPO, his net worth has soared to $5 billion. And for the tech founder, the milestone is more than just a financial win—it’s a validation of his decision to drop out of an Ivy League university.
Figma burst onto the public markets last week, surging in share price by 333% and hitting a market cap of over $70 billion in just the first few days of trading.
