Forbes: All current billionaires under 30 inherited their wealth

Forbes: All current billionaires under 30 inherited their wealth
Friday 5 April 2024 - 16:24

Forbes research has revealed that none of the world’s 15 billionaires under the age of 30 amassed their significant wealth through entrepreneurial ventures but rather inherited it.

This signifies a shift from previous narratives where individuals like Zuckerberg and Snapchat’s Evan Spiegel amassed tremendous wealth in their twenties.

Among these inheritors are Firoz and Zahan Mistry, who inherited £3.8 billion from Tata Sons, and the Del Vecchio siblings, who each inherited a substantial stake in Luxottica.

The youngest billionaire globally is 19-year-old Livia Voigt, with a $1.1 billion fortune stemming from a 3.1% stake in WEG Industries, Latin America’s foremost electrical motor manufacturer.

As wealth continues to be passed down, the number of young inheritors is expected to increase, perpetuating the cycle of inherited wealth.
