The youngest billionaire in the world? Comes from Germany!

Money usually takes a lifetime. At least the numbers speak for this: About a third of all billionaires around the world are between 50 and 80 years old. But even if it is dwindingly low: there is a little probability of being born into these blessing of money.

One of them is Johannes von Baumbach. The 19-year-old has a fortune of $ 5.4 billion, making it the youngest richest person in the world.

Much more is known about the heirs of the world’s largest private pharmaceutical company Boehringer Ingelheim. He should have three siblings in the twenties. They are also involved in the company with $ 5.4 billion. The assets are based on the ownership of stocks. The family is one of the co -founders of the pharmaceutical manufacturer. He is led by the uncle of the four children, Hubertus von Baumbach.

Johannes von Baumbach is the youngest billionaire in the world – but not the only one. The prosperity, which also shows the “Forbes” ranking, is unevenly distributed: so most of the 21 young billionaires counted in Europe; 15 of them alone in Germany. Most of them did not develop their assets themselves, but inherited or hold, like the Ingelheim heir, shares in family-owned.

They also include Sophie and Marc Fielmann. Günther Fielmann’s children inherited a large part of his glasses empire after the death of their father. He founded the company in 1972 and died last year. Since then, his son Marc has headed the company alone. His sister does not take on a role in the company, but has a third of the corporate shares.

Only two of the young billionaires listed by “Forbes” have built up their own wealth. The 29-year-old Australian Ed Craven is a co-founder of one of the largest crypto-supported online casinos in the world. Sales: 4.7 billion euros in the past year alone. The 28-year-old American Alexandr Wang ensures his wealth through the participation of the AI ​​company Scale AI.
