Getting in to Harvard is impressive (if it wasn't predestined by your loaded, alumni parents).

Founding a multibillion company is impressive.

Going back to get the degree is not impressive.

Sorry just saw your reply. Going back to get the degree is just a nice closing for a very impressive trajectory.
It's an _honorary_ degree as well. Ivy League universities give them expecting contributions.
