The 11 Youngest Richest People In America: Mark Zuckerberg, Brian Armstrong, A Walmart Heir — And A Connection To The Trump Family

The 10 richest people in the world are worth $100 billion or more. Many on the list are over the age of 50 and have years of experience founding and leading companies, including Elon Musk who tops the list with a wealth of more than $200 billion.

Here’s a look at the youngest members of the 400 richest people in the world.

What Happened: A new list of the 400 richest people in America has several newcomers joining the ranks with Michael Jordan, the first athlete to appear on the list.

The Forbes 400 list also saw former President Donald Trump drop from the ranks with questions on his net worth amid several legal challenges.

The list of the 400 richest Americans includes only four people under the age of 40, representing 1% of the list. This marked the lowest percent of members of the annual list in at least two decades according to Forbes.

The list of the youngest members of the Forbes 400 saw four people drop off. The fall of the price of shares of Snap Inc SNAP kicked Bobby Murphy and Evan Spiegel down the ranks. FTX co-founders Sam Bankman-Fried and Gary Wang also appeared on the list in 2022 and have fallen off after the company went bankrupt and are facing or have dealt with legal challenges.

Another three members from last year’s list who were under 40 had birthdays and no longer fit the criteria.
