First of all, sorry for not posting yesterday. I wish I could spend more time online, but it’s not always possible.

Here’s a list that might be interesting for you, according to Forbes, these are the top ten youngest billionaires in the world:

  1. Mark Zuckerberg - age 23 - USA - $ 1.5 BIL
  2. Albert von Thurn und Taxis - age 24 - Germany - $ 2.3 BIL
  3. Hind Hariri - age 24 - Lebanon - $ 1.1 BIL
  4. Yang Huiyan - age 26 - China - $ 7.4 BIL
  5. Fahd Hariri - age 27 - Lebanon (lives in France) - $ 2.3 BIL
  6. Aymin Hariri - age 29- Saudi Arabia - $ 2.3 BIL
  7. Begumhan Dogan Faralyali - age 31 - Turkey -  $ 1 BIL
  8. Xiaofeng Peng - age 33- China - $ 2.5 BIL
  9. Sergey Brin - age 34 - USA - $ 18.7 BIL
  10. Kostyantin Zhevago - age 34 - Ukraine - $ 3.4 BIL

So this is the list, according to age. The youngest billionaire is an American, Mark Zuckerberg, that founded the social networking site Facebook and now owns 30% of the company. More about him to come in a future post.

A lot of the people on the list have inherited their fortune, and some have made it from scratch. Some work too hard, make more money, and love what they’re doing, others just enjoy life. Some live like they’re poor, and have no liquidities (Mark Zuckerberg), others live in opulence (Albert von Thurn).

Hopefully, the young billionaires of today will influence the world for the best tomorrow.

More posts to come about them.

Thank you for reading!

    Yeah, supposedly Zuckerbberg stole his idea for facebook from some guys he went to school with too. Lucky stealing bastard. He should give me a million just cuz im cool.

    Hey Anca,

    do me a favor and check out my site and let me know if you like the new theme. I went back to the beer theme to try and make it look not as cluttered, plus my header was very amateurish. Let me know what you think. I will be trying out new themes probably trying to find a good one. Did you make the header on this one or not? Let me know.

    Also, have you seen nate around? what happened to him?

    Lovin the posts too. Makes me really want to start my own business. I am trying to find ways to get grants possibly to do it. Keep up the good work shawty. CHUG ONE!

    Chandler, thanks for stopping by.
    I will definintely check out your site. Have just been busy lately and not been online so much.
    The header I have here I made it in Photoshop, really basic, I am just a beginner in PS. If I can help you in any way, let me know.
    I haven’t seen Nate around, I hope everything’s fine with him.
    And am really glad that you like my posts, let me know when you get a business! My dream also :)
    ‘Till later, cheers!
