Discover your billionaire peer
Ever wondered which mega-moneyed billionaire shares your year of birth? Using Forbes' net worth data, we reveal the wealthiest people born each year from 1941 to 1991. Read on to find your super-rich counterpart.
21 – Kylie Jenner, net worth: $1 billion (£798m)
Kylie Jenner became the world's youngest self-made billionaire earlier this year, when Forbes reported that her net worth had reached $1 billion (£798m) thanks to the success of her cosmetics company, Kylie Cosmetics.
22 – Alexandra Andresen, net worth: $1.4 billion (£1.1bn)
Norwegian hedge fund heiress Alexandra Andresen inherited a cool 42% stake in the family investment company, Ferd, making her the second-youngest billionaire on the planet.
23 – Jennifer Gates, net worth: up to $103.5 billion (£82.6bn)
Jennifer Gates is the eldest daughter of Microsoft mogul Bill Gates, and given that the 23-year old would technically be the first in line to her father’s $103.5 billion (£82.6bn) fortune, the budding equestrian could be one of the wealthiest people in the world. Yet it's not a sure bet, as philanthropist Gates has vowed to give only a minuscule inheritance to each of his three children. That said, he has reportedly snapped up $37 million (£29.6m) worth of property in the equestrian hotspot of Wellington, Florida for his horse-loving daughter, according to The Miami Herald.
24 – Katharina Andresen, net worth: $1.4 billion (£1.1bn)
Alexandra's older sister, Katharina, also inherited a 42% stake in the family firm, putting her net worth at $1.4 billion (£1.1bn). It might seem strange that Johan, the sisters' father, handed over the majority of his company to the two girls – yet it's widely suspected that he did so for tax reasons, as in Norway you're taxed less on your net worth if it's distributed among your family.
25 – Justin Bieber, reported net worth: $265 million (£212m)
Whether you're a "Belieber" or not, there's no doubting this pop star's immense wealth. His net worth is reported to be around $265 million (£212m), which isn't bad going for a 25-year old.
26 – Gustav Witzoe, net worth: $3 billion (£2.4bn)
Not only did Norwegian twenty-something Gustav Witzoe inherit almost half of SalMar ASA, one of the world's largest salmon companies – he's also a jet-setting model and has around 105,000 followers on Instagram.
27 – Alexandre Arnault, net worth: up to $102.6 billion (£82.3bn)
The eldest son of Bernard Arnault, who is head of luxury goods conglomerate LVMH and worth a staggering $102.6 billion (£82.3bn), Alexandre Arnault could technically be worth a fortune if he were to inherit it all. Very much the heir apparent, he is currently one of fashion's youngest chief execs, heading up LVMH's luxury luggage brand Rimowa, and was the only of Bernard's children to accompany him to a meeting with President Trump in January 2017 despite the fact his siblings also work for the family business.
28 – Hugh Grosvenor, 7th Duke of Westminster, estimated net worth $11.3 billion (£9bn)
The richest 28-year-old in the world, Hugh Grosvenor became the UK's third wealthiest man and youngest billionaire upon the death of his father Gerald Grosvenor, 6th Duke of Westminster in August 2016.
