Self made billionaires 35 years old or younger in 2009
As reported by Forbes in September 2009, it seems only the following are still in the list of the youngest self made billionaires 35 years of age or younger:
Sergey Brin, 35, worth USD12 billion, Google co-founder
John Arnold, 35, worth USD2.7 billion, made his fortune from hedge funds
Fell off the list:
Larry Page, 36: overage!
Mark Zuckerberg, 25, but strangely he’s listed as worth USD2 billion in the “richest Americans list”, Facebook founder, company was valued at USD6.5 billion in May 2009.
Xiaofeng Peng, 34, was listed as worth USD2.5 billion in 2008, made his fortune from solar energy
Kostyantin Zhevago, 35, was listed as worth USD3.4 billion, made his fortune from banking & mining, the Ukraine’s youngest billionaire
Xian Yang, 35, was listed as worth USD1.6 billion, made his fortune from coal mining
Sameer Gehlaut, 35, was listed as worth USD1.2 billion, made his fortune from finance
Still, off the list or not, I’m sure they’d have little problem fending for themselves, unlike us mere mortals, who, for even seemingly trivial matters as finding treatment for hemorrhoids, would immediately think of the cost first.
