Becoming a billionaire is not a walk in the park as majority of the wealthy elites spend their lifetime chasing that status.

Hence it's not much of a surprise that almost three-quarters of the world's billionaires are between the ages of 50 and 79, while just 12% are under the age of 50.

According to Forbes list, the most rare of them are those who managed to achieve the most desirable status by the age of 30.

Out of 21 billionaires under 30, all but two inherited their wealth.
