No, but he did go to Harvard and met all his business partners there.  A 
good school is as useful for the contacts as the coursework.
Also, he got a 1590 on the SAT and started his own company instead of 
looking for a job, so he's definitely wasn't in the same track most 
other people in the world are.
College isn't the only way to go, but it does have many advantages.
