The Youngest Billionaire
The youngest billionaire in the world is German prince Albert von Thurn und Taxis. He has a net worth 2 billion dollar currently diversified on real estate, art, and technology company. The 23-year-old monarch first appeared briefly on the list at age 8, the year his father died, making him the youngest billionaire ever on Forbes Billionaires list.
He didn’t appear again until age 18 when he officially inherited his fortune. (Interesting coincidence: His mother Gloria asked her friend, Swatch’s Nicolas Hayek, who is now also a billionaire, to manage her son’s fortune.) These days the eligible bachelor lives in the family castle with his mother and sisters, but he is often away racing cars with the Italian auto-racing league.
Von Thurn und Taxis is one of only three billionaires under 30. The other two are the Hariri brothers, Fahd and Ayman, 26 and 28, respectively, who inherited their fortunes from their late father Rafik Hariri, the former Lebanese prime minister who was killed in a car bombing in 2005.

I still prefer billionaires who did it their own way like Warren Buffet, Oprah. Bill Gates look like a devil to me.
Donald Trump is my idol though he claim that the reason he become billionaire is because he learned it from his parent, not their money. Wisdom is indeed very important.

I agree with you edward…
Nothing is more challenging than a self-made millionaire at young age..:)To date Kostyantin Zhevago from Ukraine is the youngest self-made billionaire of the world.
