So, it seems all that education did pay off¡ªliterally, as well. According to Wikipedia, Crimson Education has a valuation of NZ $1B as of 2024.

How people reacted

In the comments, people expressed their surprise and humor about Jamie Beaton's extensive academic journey:

One person remarked, "Wild. I thought it was going to be a long list of online certificate programs from these institutions at first glance."

Someone joked, "When you don't get H1-B lottery so you keep going back to school."

There was also speculation about the potential amount of debt he may have accumulated.

Another suggested that this might not just be ambition but confusion, saying, "In fairness, one of my friends from Princeton did something similar (but less extreme) because he just didn¡¯t know what to do with his life. So collecting degrees from top schools became his vocation."

A humorous remark followed, likening it to, "Collecting degrees like Pok¨¦mon."

Yet another pointed out, "Makes sense for his business, no? If you are selling services to get into certain schools, what better than getting into it yourself? Seems like he was working on his business while at the schools."
