最年轻的亿万富翁

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.

看看这位年轻多财的亿万富翁，他是众多从事计算机工程的富人之一。目前，世界上最年轻的亿万富翁是app软件阅后即焚的创始人、年仅24岁的艾文·斯皮格爾。阅后即焚照片分享app目前市值已经超过100亿美元，这意味着其创始人斯皮格尔的净资产也达到15亿美元。斯皮格尔所创办的阅后即焚照片分享app供上千万用户免费使用，并不创收。但是，和Facebook创始初期一样，它的创收前景和空间足以引来众多投资者的投资。身为新晋世界上最年轻的亿万富翁，斯皮格尔最近才从其位于加利福尼亚南部的父母家中搬出，住进附近一套价值330万美元的家里。24岁的斯皮格尔，在其公司资产净值达到11位数字以后，便开始在“新一代最年轻的亿万富翁”排行上榜上有名，这已有好几年的时间了。

在斯皮格尔荣登世界最年轻亿万富翁宝座的同时，其他一些年轻富有的、尤其是刚被斯皮格尔挤下宝座的亿万富翁也不容小觑。其中一位是世界最年轻的女性亿万富翁伊丽莎白·霍姆斯。霍姆斯最近的排名是世界第三年轻的亿万富翁，她19岁从斯坦福大学辍学后开始创业。霍姆斯创办的Theranos公司涉及实验室诊断领域，她开创了一种花费少、效率高的血液检测新方法。

霍姆斯年仅30岁，其身家已达45亿美元。在斯皮格尔之前，世界最年轻的亿万富翁是达斯汀·莫斯科维茨。莫斯科维茨是Facebook的联合创始人之一，现在是Asana公司的CEO。他仅比马克·扎克伯格小了8天，在扎克伯格身家达340亿美元的时候，莫斯科维茨的资产仅有81亿美元。现在，艾文·斯皮格尔成为了全球最年轻的亿万富翁，但是谁能预料在不久的将来斯皮格尔又会被哪一颗闪亮新星所取代呢？也许就在下一秒，也许新的最年轻亿万富翁正在孕育之中。斯皮格尔应该好好享受排名第一的荣耀，因为毫无疑问，一大波有才华、有野心的年轻人正在朝着他的位置你追我赶。
