About This Ranking

Youth and extreme wealth are increasingly correlated in an era of technology companies that can scale to billions in value within a decade. Many of the world's youngest billionaires are second-generation inheritors or founders of software, fintech, and e-commerce businesses. The average age of a billionaire globally is around 65–70; appearing on this list requires breaking that pattern dramatically.

All net worth figures are estimated from publicly available data including SEC filings, stock exchange prices, and company financial reports. Rankings are updated daily. Read our full methodology.
