Billionaires by Age

The youngest billionaire on the list is Mark Zuckerberg, at just 31 years of age.

The oldest is Liliane Bettencourt, the principal shareholder of cosmetic giant L’Oréal. She is 93 years old.

Billionaires by Industry

Technology has more billionaires (12) than any other industry group.

The world’s largest fashion and retail brands, such as Wal-Mart, Zara, Nike, and H&M, also have helped to get many people on this list.
