You can't really quote all of those billionaires, let alone millionaires because they represent an extremely small minority of the world's population. College may not suit everyone on a personal basis but I most definitely believe that you it is an overall positive experience anyway you look at it. To say it's not for you is one thing, but to say it's a waste of money is ignorant. To those making the argument that individual a with no college degree is working alongside individual b with a degree making the same pay or a little less has to factor in that individual a had to work their way up to that position while individual b was handed it right after college.
For me, its like do I want to earn money my whole life or do I want to make money? I could have easily started working early and grinding but the way the world is progressing in general, hard work will only take you so far without adequate knowledge and "pieces of paper." I know such knowledge can be obtained nowadays for free through the internet but how exactly do you convey this to an employer in a 10-15 interview?
