How long should you wait for a professor before you leave?

I’ve heard that you should wait 15 minutes for a professor who is late to a class, before leaving. Some of my classmates have said that the 15 minute rule is only for professors without PhD’s, and that you must wait at least 20 (and up to 30) minutes for professors that do have PhD’s.
