Look at this young and rich billionaire, who is one of the richest persons from computerengineering. As of right now, the youngest billionaire in the world is 24-year-old Evan Spiegel, creator of the photo-sharing mobile application Snapchat. Snapchat was recently valued at more than $10 billion by investors, meaning that Spiegels net worth has been pegged at around $1.5 billion(he owns roughly 15% of the company). Spiegels an interesting case, as his creation is a mobile app that is used by hundreds of millions of people every day for free, and doesnt generate any revenues. Yet, much like Facebook before it, its the potential to generate those revenues that have investors on board, and which have inflated the companys value to such lofty heights. Despite his new found billionaire status, Spiegel just recently moved out of his parents house in southern California, after purchasing a $3.3 million home nearby. At 24, Spiegel has several years on the next-youngest billionaires on the list, which he supplanted following his companys 11-figure valuation.
While Spiegel tops the rankings as the worlds youngest billionaire, there are a few individuals who are also worth mentioning as well, especially since they are the ones who Spiegel beat out just this past year. One is the worlds current youngest female billionaire, Elizabeth Holmes. Holmes currently ranks as the third-youngest billionaire, and made her fortune after dropping out of Stanford at the age of 19 to pursue her own venture. Her company, Theranos, got involved in, and subsequently changed for the better, the $76 billion laboratory diagnostic industry. Essentially, she came up with a new way to run blood tests at a fraction of the cost, and with much moree fficiency.
At 30 years old, Holmes is worth a reported $4.5 billion. Finally, Dustin Moskovitz is the man that Spiegel ultimately kicked aside to take the title as the worlds youngest billionaire.Moskovitz was one of the co-founders of Facebook, and now holds the title as CEO of Asana, an organization application. Moskovitz barely held the title himself, as he is only eight days younger than his Facebook cohort Mark Zuckerberg. While Zuckerberg is worth roughly $34 billion, Moskovitzs fortune is much less modest, coming in at $8.1 billion. For now, Evan Spiegel holds the title as the planets youngest billionaire. But who knows when the next bright-eyed and bushy-tailed entrepreneur will break through with a new innovation or invention that completely turns the world on its head? Theyre out there, and new billionaires are likely gestating this very minute. Spiegel should enjoy his stay at the top, because there are undoubtedly a good number of young, talented people gunning for the belt.
