sure, Duke is a great school and I'm sure there are many graduates in various fields that have become mogul-like. But isn't the most obvious answer that the money is probably funneled in from the plethora of NBA players that Duke has churned out since Coach K's first big recruiting class in 1982 (the documentary about that is really good by the way, almost makes you start sympathizing with Duke if you don't catch yourself). Business, law, medicine - people in these fields make big money, but let's be honest, no one is making more money in this country than those playing professional sports in one of the prominent sports leagues (NBA, NFL, MLB, and to a somewhat lesser extent NHL).
