BUT, What may be more meaningful is endowment per student. Here, Princeton is #1 at $2.9 million and Chicago is only #39 at $449M.
BUT BUT, none of this directly correlates to quality. Many 2nd and 3rd rate schools have larger endowments per student than Chicago, while Chicago has the 2nd highest number of official Nobel laureates, after Cambridge in the UK, and well ahead of Harvard, Princeton, etc.
Having said all this, more money is always better than less money. (And all numbers are approx.)

I'm not sure what this has to do with architecture...but if you want to go there, for one thing, just listen to Steven Chu from Stanford discuss during Alivisatos' inauguration why UChicago is the best school in the world at producing young scientists. He said Berkeley was second. Indeed, UChicago produced James Watson, who is a greater scientist than anyone ever produced by HYPSM--by a long shot.
Finally, UChicago, as this blog shows, is the most popular college by far at the Top 50 prep schools in the U.S.:
