‘I charge billionaires $750,000 to get their children into Ivy League schools’

How do you get your child into a fiercely competitive, world-renowned Ivy League university?

You pay admissions guru Christopher Rim $750,000.

The 29-year-old chief executive of Command Education is the mastermind behind hundreds of teenagers from wealthy families winning coveted spots at the world’s best institutions.

He’s not wrong – the company turns over more than $20 million a year. Mr Rim owns a $7.5 million home in Miami and a $2.3 million apartment in Manhattan.

He has tapped into the booming industry of independent education consultants which, according to marketing firm IBISWorld, has ballooned in value from $400 million to $3 billion in a decade.

Obviously, he did not fall within the billionaire bracket.

But you can see why those of the billionaire class are so afraid (/against) the effects of DEI. The price of admission up pushed up to a point where they might no longer be able to afford it.
