December 3, 2008 RSS Feed Print

Even with its 22 percent loss in the past four months, Harvard is still insanely rich.

To get an idea of the historical growth and enormous scale of its endowment, take a look at this chart (via Portfolio.com's Market Movers).

The $8 billion drop puts it at $28.8 billion--roughly where it was in 2006, reports Market Movers.

No reason to panic.
