12 Successful Celebrities Who Never Went to College

Beyoncé

Beyoncé is an American singer, songwriter, actress and record producer. She performed in various competitions that involved dancing and singing since she was a child. Our famous singer is considered one of the most influential and successful women in the world. She’s one of the world’s best selling recording artists, having sold 118 million records worldwide. The singer is the most nominated woman at the Grammy Awards and has the second-most wins for a woman with a total of 24 (bluegrass-country musician Alison Krauss is first with 27).

However, what many people don’t know about her is that she doesn’t have a college degree. Her mother was a hairdresser and salon owner and her dad a Xerox sales manager. Beyoncé attended St. Mary’s Montessori School in Houston. She also attended the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts and later Alief Elsik High School, but she decided to focus more on being a member of Destiny’s Child. “I don’t like to gamble, but if there’s one thing I’m willing to bet on, it’s myself,” Beyonce said.
