Mark zuckerberg became a billionaire at age 22. Where are the young self made billionaires or multi millionaires and in what industry are they mostly ? Is it still mostly in tech, or are sectors like social media, content creation, and crypto taking over?
Remember Zuckerberg, Gates, Musk and company didn't become billionaires by making a company that made a billion dollars, they became billionaires by starting a public corporation that became worth billions and billions. It's been getting harder and harder to do that ever since not least to laws passed after the Enron scandal, the 2008 crisis and such. Every social media company that had the possibility of going public got bought by Facebook or Microsoft.
Gen-A/Z, low-D (cool,IT-immune) by surfeit of youth & dearth of means, growing up in high-D millennial culture (rich,online & cringe)
