Top 10 Youngest Billionaires Under 26 in 2025

For a long time, the ranks of global billionaires have been filled by those in their 50s, 60s, and beyond, a testament to the time, risk, and perseverance typically required to amass such wealth. Nearly three-quarters of the world’s billionaires are aged between 50 and 79, according to Forbes.

Only 12% are under the age of 50, and within this group, those under 30 form an even smaller subset. This year, just 21 individuals under 30 have made it onto the billionaire list.

Among these young billionaires, an even smaller group stands out: those under 25. Born between the late 1990s and 2012, these Gen Z billionaires are not just wealthy but also draw attention due to their youth and the remarkable circumstances of their wealth.

For instance, the world’s youngest billionaire in 2025 is Johannes von Baumbach, a 19-year-old from Germany. Along with his siblings, who are 23, 25, and 27 years old, Johannes holds a multibillion-dollar stake in Boehringer Ingelheim, the largest privately held pharmaceutical company globally. Each sibling has an estimated worth of $5.4 billion.

A large portion of these young billionaires, 15 out of 21, come from Europe, with several from Germany, including the von Baumbach siblings and others involved in industries ranging from eyewear to retail pharmaceuticals and industrial manufacturing.
