Hi Billions it is ... Chris undoubtedly made a typo. Here are Canadian university endowments (see Table 4.3)
http://www.caut.ca/uploads/2010_4_UniversitiesAndColleges.pdf Only U of Toronto breaks the $1B mark at $1.3B, although several others are around the $1B level. So Harvard has something like 20-30 times the top endowment of a Canadian university. I know a few years ago there was legislation being considered to force American universities to spend their excessive (to some) endowments, but I don't know if anything came of it (or if the recession "cured" much of the problem ... Harvard lost about $10B in one year ... they use to be at about $36B). USA appears to have about 50-60 universities with endowments of $1B or more.

(and as announced on the linked page below), Harvard has a $27.6B endowment. I would be surprised if a number of colleges (including mine) didn't have at least a @27.6M endowment.
