  "summary": "The article highlights a new generation of billionaires who have amassed immense wealth before the age of 30, thanks to their ventures in AI, pharmaceuticals, luxury goods, and inherited family empires. Forbes' 2026 World’s Billionaires list features 35 individuals under 30, with a combined fortune of $92.4 billion. Among the most notable are Mercor founders Surya Midha, Brendan Foody, and Adarsh Hiremath, who became billionaires at 22, thanks to their AI recruiting company. Another major AI success story is Alexandr Wang, who built his fortune through Scale AI, which was later acquired by Meta. The article also mentions other young self-made billionaires such as Cursor cofounders Aman Sanger and Michael Truell, and Lovable cofounder Fabian Hedin. However, it also notes that some of these billionaires, like Luca Del Vecchio and Clemente Del Vecchio, are heirs to their family's wealth, specifically the Italian eyewear empire Luxottica, rather than generating their fortunes through entrepreneurship.",
