13 Richest Young Billionaires Under 30 in 2025: The Inheritance Era

In 2025, for the first time in over a decade, every billionaire under the age of 30 inherited their wealth. That’s not a coincidence—it's a sign of a shifting global economy. The self-made success stories of tech founders in hoodies are being replaced, at least for now, by the next generation of heirs.

According to Forbes and wealth research firm Wealth-X, the 2025 global billionaire list includes 15 individuals under 30, and 100% of them inherited their fortunes. None made their money through startups, stocks, or side hustles. This marks a stark contrast to previous years when young tech founders dominated headlines.

We're witnessing the early chapters of what's been dubbed the "Great Wealth Transfer"—an estimated $5.2 trillion will be passed down from baby boomer billionaires to their heirs in the next two decades (Wealth-X, 2024). And these young inheritors are the first wave.

6. Luca Del Vecchio (22, Italy) – Net Worth: $4.7 Billion

Another Del Vecchio sibling, Luca shares the same 12.5% stake in Delfin as his brother Clemente. The family’s combined wealth makes them one of the richest clans in Europe. Luca is known for investing quietly in tech startups but has yet to take a major public role.

What This All Means

This is more than a curiosity—it's a generational wealth shift.

We used to celebrate the "self-made billionaire" as a cultural icon: the Zuckerberg archetype. But in 2025, those stories are on pause. The baton has passed, at least temporarily, from creators to inheritors. And it’s not just happening in Silicon Valley—it’s global.

While these young billionaires didn’t build their empires, they now hold the keys to them. The big question is: What will they do with the power they’ve inherited? Will they grow it? Give it away? Reinvent it?

One thing is clear: the age of inherited influence is here, and the next few years will reveal who among them will simply hold the wealth—and who might actually reshape the world with it.
