It’s important to acknowledge the role of nepotism and privilege in the rise of this new jet set. While the average billionaire is 66 years old, there’s a dramatic shift taking place in the world of wealth. A new generation of billionaires is making headlines with their impressive fortunes. Around the globe, 14 individuals have reached a net worth of over $1 billion despite being 30 years old or younger — and the youngest billionaire is still in her teens.

At 21 and with a net worth of $1.4 billion, this young woman from Oslo is the youngest on Forbes’ billionaire list, although she has fallen to position 1,650 in her sister seniorthe general ranking. The origin of her fortune didn’t entail significant effort, given that it resulted from a 42.2 percent transfer of the family business, made by her Johan Andresen. The family company is Ferd, founded in 1848 after the purchase of a Norwegian tobacco factory, and today is a holding company dedicated to various business investments. Among its activity is the financing of entrepreneurs and their social enterprise projects, done through Ferd’s subsidiary, FSE (Ferd Social Entrepreneurs). Three children of Leonardo Del Vecchio, the founder of the luxury sunglasses company Luxottica, became billionaires after his death in 2022. Firoz and his brother Zahan are the richest of the billionaires under 30, thanks primarily to their 4.6% stakes in Tata Sons, the Indian conglomerate that owns 29 public companies.
Kim Jung-min
Though the biggest shareholder, she still attends university and holds no executive position. The 38th annual Forbes list of the world’s billionaires found a record 2,781 billionaires with a total net wealth of $14.2 trillion. This is an increase of 141 members and $2 trillion from 2023, which held the previous record for the highest net worth gain on the list, surpassing the $900 billion record set in 2022. Two-thirds of the list members are wealthier compared to the previous year, including Mark Zuckerberg, whose net worth increased by $112.6 billion. She and her sister Jung-youn each own approximately 9% of the South Korean-Japanese online gaming publisher, Nexon, founded by their late father Kim Jung-ju in 1994. Upon his death, they inherited their stakes in the company, but neither she nor her sister has a role in the firm.
Kevin’s father gave him his 50% stake in Germany’s leading drugstore brand, dm-drogerie markt, when he was just 14. The drugstore chain has over 4,000 stores across Europe and recorded revenue of about $17 billion in 2023. He inherited 49% of Red Bull when his father Dietrich Mateschitz, who founded the business in 1984, died in 2022. Prior to his father’s death, he’d run the company’s organics division, but resigned because “I do not believe one should be both an employee and a shareholder of the same company,” according to a statement at the time. Red Bull generated $11.6 billion in revenue last year and sold 12.1 billion cans, enough for each person on earth to pep up with 1.5 energy drinks. Alexandra Andresen and her sister Katharina are both in their twenties and inherited a substantial portion of their family’s investment company, Ferd.
