I took the GMAT 10 years ago and scored a 740 with minimal study. I got into INSEAD the first time around, but decided not to go. It worked out well for me as I was able to make a significant amount of money through IP investments. Because of that I have annual passive cashflows of over $350K but I still plan to run my business while I'm in school
My considerations are the following: I went to a top tier state school for undergrad and grad school, but I just felt like I wanted a degree from a "prestigious" institution. My grades in undergrad weren't all that stellar since I basically stopped going to class after I got into grad school.
Does it make sense to get an MBA still when I really just want the degree and possibly the network? But I will be a good 10 years older than most students. I'm looking at mostly shorter programs, INSEAD/LBS etc. Although if I can get into Wharton/HBS/Stanford I would do it.
I know a lot of the comments might be that it's a stupid idea to get an MBA just to have the "paper." No job I'm going to get out of MBA school will be able to make more than I already do, so looking for a job is not important to me.

Hi,
People pursue an MBA for different reasons. For majority it is career progression but there is a minority with varied reasons. And adding another feather in your hat seems just as reasonable to me. Although, saying that in your essay wouldn't be prudent. Networking is a very strong reason to pursue an MBA. You do take out the most pressing issue with ADcoms i.e. your employability. Since you're not looking for one, you're not a liability to a school. You can pursue 1-year, 2-year or executive course depending on your circumstances. You will be surprised at how much you have learnt once you graduate from your MBA School.

Look into EMBA programs, especially in the city/region where you want to build your network. I work a lot with EMBA candidates on their applications, and Wharton, Columbia, and NYU Stern for Finance, alongside MIT Sloan if you're into the tech or energy community are the best.
Take a look at my slideshare presentation I did last year highlighting each EMBA program, and let me know if I can be of any help, as each year I work with many EMBA clients and help them gain acceptance to the top programs:
