The world’s youngest ever self-made billionaire in 2008
As mentioned by Forbes in May 2008, at the tender age of 23, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was already worth USD1.5 billion. Even Bill Gates only became a billionaire at age 31 in 1986 when Microsoft went public.
There are 6 billionaires in the world under the age of 30, but only one of them is self made: Mr Zuckerberg.
Salute!
He’s ranked 785th among the world’s billionaires.
The other 5 inherited their wealth:
- Albert von Thurn und Taxis (Germany), 24
- Hind Hariri (Lebanon), 24
- Yang Huiyan (China), 26, China’s richest woman. Sorry guys, she’s already married.
- Fahd Hariri (Lebanon), 27
- Aymin Hariri (Saudi Arabia), 29
Needless to say, these young people will never need to worry about having enough money to buy food, but they’d need to worry about looking out for top rated fat burners instead.
