The dream of every young person our there is to make it big. Others
struggle to get a decent job, rent an apartment in a good neighborhood
and just live each day at time. Few manage to have reasonable monthly
savings while a vacation in the Caribbean is just but a pipe dream to
many. Yet there are young people who have hit the billionaire status,
those who don't have to look at price tags at the designer store. They
can afford almost every luxury that there is to imagine. Some of these
young billionaires were born into riches while others had to be
extraordinary to accumulate such wealth. From technology to real estate,
these are some of the youngest billionaires in the world in the year
2016.

This 30 year old Swedish
billionaire has an estimated net worth of about $2.7 billion. Nearly all
of his wealth is inherited thanks to having a business savvy
grandfather. His family owns the H&M company which is a very popular
and cheap chic retailer. His father is the richest person in Sweden and
his aunt, sister and brother are all billionaires. This young
billionaire loves globetrotting and also does film production having
graduated from the London Met Film School.
Airbnb
is a pretty famous company so you've probably heard of it. Joe Gebbia
is its co-founder and also the chief product officer. Joe is also known
for his signature bow-ties. At 33 years of age, he has an estimated net
worth of $3 billion. He is a great enthusiast of modern architecture and
says that his greatest dream is to spend a night at the famous Eames
Case Study House number eight. Only if affording it were an option Joe,
we are quite sure you could spend a night there.
The
33 year old co-founded Airbnb back in 2008 together with Joe Gabby. To
imagine that the multi-billion dollar company was founded because they
were looking for options to raise rent money is just inspiring. He has a
net worth estimated at $3 billion.
The
32 year old is also a co-founder of Airbnb. He serves as the CTO of the
company in charge of overseeing its technology strategy. A software
engineer by profession, his net worth is estimated at $3 billion.
I
know you've probably heard about future billionaires dropping out of
Ivy league universities, this is one of them. Elizabeth dropped out of
Stanford University in her sophomore year to follow a less trodden path.
She started the blood diagnostics company called Theranos, now valued
at almost $9 billion. The 31 year old herself has a net worth estimated
at $4.5 billion. Where would you take her for a date that would totally
blow her mind because honestly there are not many things that she can't
afford.
Energy is always a good sector
of the economy to invest in. Together with his sisters, Scott Duncan
inherited a very successful energy pipeline company called Enterprise
Product Partners. The 32 year old is estimated to be worth $5 billion. I
bet he could retire if he wanted to because with that amount of money,
you are basically set for life.
This 33
year old was best friends with Mark Zuckerberg at Harvard before the
Facebook head famously cut him off when the company was just taking off.
His net worth is estimated at $5.3 billion but had he managed to retain
his 30% stake at Facebook, he would now be worth $34 billion. Such is
life.
Believed to be the richest woman in
Asia, the 34 year old Ohio State University graduated has an estimated
net worth of $5.9 billion. She inherited most of her fortune from her
father in 2007 when he transferred his company, Country Garden Holdings,
a property investment company, to her.
The
31 year old was one of the founding members of Facebook. The Harvard
dropout learnt programming just to launch the giant social media site.
He stayed at Facebook for four years before leaving to co-found the
company called Asana. His net worth is estimated at $9.3 billion.
He
basically revolutionized social media with the launch of Facebook. He
resisted earlier temptations to sell the company which he launched in
his dorm room and it clearly paid off because Zuckerberg's net worth is
now estimated at $46.1 billion. At just 31 years of age, that is such a
huge fortune for a young and self-made person like him.
These are the youngest billionaires in the world and whether their fortunes were inherited or they were self-made, the fact remains that they have attained financial milestones that very few people in the world even dream of ever achieving.
