The Age When Entrepreneurs Made Their First Billion- Valutrics

 

Is the new generation of successful entrepreneurs exceeding the billion-dollar mark sooner?

 

Mark Zuckerberg is widely reported to have locked in his first million by age 22. In the span of a year, thanks to his company’s initial public offering, the Facebook founder became a billionaire. He’s still considered the youngest self-made billionaire to date. 

Snapchat’s Evan Spiegel also reached his first billion in his twenties, at the ripe age of 25–six years before Bill Gates and 15 years before Steve Jobs. A new generation of entrepreneurs is achieving success with fast-growing companies. Does this mean the rules are changing when it comes to breaking the billion-dollar mark? You be the judge.
