This week, Ms Robinson hosted a workshop, investigating some of the most successful high school dropouts to highlight the fact that education isn't a predictor of success.

George Foreman

George Foreman was a high school dropout who went on to become an Olympic gold medal boxer. Most famous for delivering a TKO to the undefeated Joe Frazier in 1973, George Foreman made his fortune when he put his name to the George Foreman Grill, which has sold more than 100 million to date. Thanks to his business venture, George Foreman has amassed a net worth of $250 million (http://sportstardom.com/top-10-richest-boxers-in-the-world/5/).

Walt Disney

Possibly the most recognised brand on the planet, the Disney Empire is proof that completing high school isn't always necessary for success. Walt Disney dropped out at of school at the age of 17 to serve his country in the First World War. Upon his return in 1919, Disney began working as a commercial illustrator and quickly set up his own shop. As a film producer, Disney holds the record for most Academy Awards earned by an individual, having won 22 Oscars from 59 nominations.

David Karp

Karp dropped out of high school in his freshman year after knowing from an early age that he wanted to work with computers. However, programming was relatively new, and his high school didn't offer any courses. After dropping out, he continued his education on his own. The bold move paid off when he founded Tumblr and later sold it to Yahoo for $1.1 billion.
