Making big money is a special science. And future billionaires comprehend it at different times, someone becomes the owner of an amount with nine zeros at the age of 25, and someone earns their first billion only at 60.

Most young billionaires receive this status through their relatives and inheritance, but there are also those who start their own companies at a young age, for example when they were a student, this was done by Mark Zuckerberg, one of the founders of the social network Facebook.

Forbes has published its 34th Annual World Billionaire List. Completed by March 18, 2020, it ranks the world's 2,095 billionaires by net worth.

Here are the 5 youngest billionaires in the world who have created their wealth on their own, from the oldest to the youngest:
