Look at this young and rich billionaire， who is one of the richest persons from computerengineering. As of right now， the youngest billionaire in the world is 24-year-old Evan Spiegel， creator of the photo-sharing mobile application Snapchat. Snapchat was recently valued at more than $10 billion by investors， meaning that Spiegels net worth has been pegged at around $1.5 billion（he owns roughly 15% of the company）. Spiegels an interesting case， as his creation is a mobile app that is used by hundreds of millions of people every day for free， and doesnt generate any revenues. Yet， much like Facebook before it， its the potential to generate those revenues that have investors on board， and which have inflated the companys value to such lofty heights. Despite his new found billionaire status， Spiegel just recently moved out of his parents house in southern California， after purchasing a $3.3 million home nearby. At 24， Spiegel has several years on the next-youngest billionaires on the list， which he supplanted following his companys 11-figure valuation.

While Spiegel tops the rankings as the worlds youngest billionaire， there are a few individuals who are also worth mentioning as well， especially since they are the ones who Spiegel beat out just this past year. One is the worlds current youngest female billionaire， Elizabeth Holmes. Holmes currently ranks as the third-youngest billionaire， and made her fortune after dropping out of Stanford at the age of 19 to pursue her own venture. Her company， Theranos， got involved in， and subsequently changed for the better， the $76 billion laboratory diagnostic industry. Essentially， she came up with a new way to run blood tests at a fraction of the cost， and with much moree fficiency.

At 30 years old， Holmes is worth a reported $4.5 billion. Finally， Dustin Moskovitz is the man that Spiegel ultimately kicked aside to take the title as the worlds youngest billionaire.Moskovitz was one of the co-founders of Facebook， and now holds the title as CEO of Asana， an organization application. Moskovitz barely held the title himself， as he is only eight days younger than his Facebook cohort Mark Zuckerberg. While Zuckerberg is worth roughly $34 billion， Moskovitzs fortune is much less modest， coming in at $8.1 billion. For now， Evan Spiegel holds the title as the planets youngest billionaire. But who knows when the next bright-eyed and bushy-tailed entrepreneur will break through with a new innovation or invention that completely turns the world on its head？ Theyre out there， and new billionaires are likely gestating this very minute. Spiegel should enjoy his stay at the top， because there are undoubtedly a good number of young， talented people gunning for the belt.

看看這位年輕多財(cái)?shù)膬|萬(wàn)富翁，他是眾多從事計(jì)算機(jī)工程的富人之一。目前，世界上最年輕的億萬(wàn)富翁是app軟件閱后即焚的創(chuàng)始人、年僅24歲的艾文·斯皮格爾。閱后即焚照片分享app目前市值已經(jīng)超過(guò)100億美元，這意味著其創(chuàng)始人斯皮格爾的凈資產(chǎn)也達(dá)到15億美元。斯皮格爾所創(chuàng)辦的閱后即焚照片分享app供上千萬(wàn)用戶(hù)免費(fèi)使用，并不創(chuàng)收。但是，和Facebook創(chuàng)始初期一樣，它的創(chuàng)收前景和空間足以引來(lái)眾多投資者的投資。身為新晉世界上最年輕的億萬(wàn)富翁，斯皮格爾最近才從其位于加利福尼亞南部的父母家中搬出，住進(jìn)附近一套價(jià)值330萬(wàn)美元的家里。24歲的斯皮格爾，在其公司資產(chǎn)凈值達(dá)到11位數(shù)字以后，便開(kāi)始在“新一代最年輕的億萬(wàn)富翁”排行上榜上有名，這已有好幾年的時(shí)間了。

在斯皮格爾榮登世界最年輕億萬(wàn)富翁寶座的同時(shí)，其他一些年輕富有的、尤其是剛被斯皮格爾擠下寶座的億萬(wàn)富翁也不容小覷。其中一位是世界最年輕的女性?xún)|萬(wàn)富翁伊麗莎白·霍姆斯?；裟匪棺罱呐琶鞘澜绲谌贻p的億萬(wàn)富翁，她19歲從斯坦福大學(xué)輟學(xué)后開(kāi)始創(chuàng)業(yè)。霍姆斯創(chuàng)辦的Theranos公司涉及實(shí)驗(yàn)室診斷領(lǐng)域，她開(kāi)創(chuàng)了一種花費(fèi)少、效率高的血液檢測(cè)新方法。

霍姆斯年僅30歲，其身家已達(dá)45億美元。在斯皮格爾之前，世界最年輕的億萬(wàn)富翁是達(dá)斯汀·莫斯科維茨。莫斯科維茨是Facebook的聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人之一，現(xiàn)在是Asana公司的CEO。他僅比馬克·扎克伯格小了8天，在扎克伯格身家達(dá)340億美元的時(shí)候，莫斯科維茨的資產(chǎn)僅有81億美元?，F(xiàn)在，艾文·斯皮格爾成為了全球最年輕的億萬(wàn)富翁，但是誰(shuí)能預(yù)料在不久的將來(lái)斯皮格爾又會(huì)被哪一顆閃亮新星所取代呢？也許就在下一秒，也許新的最年輕億萬(wàn)富翁正在孕育之中。斯皮格爾應(yīng)該好好享受排名第一的榮耀，因?yàn)楹翢o(wú)疑問(wèn)，一大波有才華、有野心的年輕人正在朝著他的位置你追我趕。
