According to the Forbes Billionaires list in 2014, 31 of the 1,645 members are under the age of 40.
That elite group no longer includes Google's Sergey Brin and Larry Page as both of whom have crossed into their 40's.
This year, there's a newcomer to the list - Perenna Kei who displaces former Facebook cofounder Dustin Moskovitz as the youngest billionaire.
