The Wealthiest Billionaires Under 35 Years Old

The Wealthiest Billionaires Under 35 Years Old

The first billion is the hardest, according to oil magnate T. Boone Pickens.

And while getting to a net worth of $1 billion at any point in time is a feat, doing it before the age of 35 is even more impressive. Today’s infographic describes the world’s wealthiest billionaires under 35 years old.

Note: the list is based on net worth in 2015, and the ages listed correspond to that time as well.

  1. Mark Zuckerberg: $45.3 billion
  2. Dustin Moskovitz: $9.3 billion
  3. Eduardo Luiz Saverin: $6.3 billion
  4. Yang Huiyan: $5.2 billion
  5. Scott Daniel Duncan: $5 billion
  6. Elizabeth Holmes: $4.5 billion
  7. Nathan Blecharczyk: $3.3 billion
  8. Brian Chesky: $3.3 billion
  9. Joe Gebbia: $3.3 billion
  10. Thomas Persson: $2.9 billion

A Common Thread

To make it onto this list of the wealthiest billionaires under 35, it would appear there are two possible routes.

The first would be to inherit billions from parents that own a big real estate company or retail brand such as H&M. If that option is not available, the alternative is to get involved in the early stages of an insanely successful startup such as Facebook, Airbnb, or Theranos.

The latter route also has the best outlier on the list, with Mark Zuckerberg’s wealth of $45.3 billion topping the combined amount ($43.1 billion) of the remaining nine names.

Visualizing AI Patents by Country

This was originally posted on our Voronoi app. Download the app for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources.

This infographic shows the number of AI-related patents granted each year from 2010 to 2022 (latest data available). These figures come from the Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET), accessed via Stanford University’s 2024 AI Index Report.

From this data, we can see that China first overtook the U.S. in 2013. Since then, the country has seen enormous growth in the number of AI patents granted each year.

202235,3151,17312,07713,69962,264

In 2022, China was granted more patents than every other country combined.

While this suggests that the country is very active in researching the field of artificial intelligence, it doesn’t necessarily mean that China is the farthest in terms of capability.

Key Facts About AI Patents

According to CSET, AI patents relate to mathematical relationships and algorithms, which are considered abstract ideas under patent law. They can also have different meaning, depending on where they are filed.

In the U.S., AI patenting is concentrated amongst large companies including IBM, Microsoft, and Google. On the other hand, AI patenting in China is more distributed across government organizations, universities, and tech firms (e.g. Tencent).

In terms of focus area, China’s patents are typically related to computer vision, a field of AI that enables computers and systems to interpret visual data and inputs. Meanwhile America’s efforts are more evenly distributed across research fields.
