Forbes has recently released its annual Forbes 400 list, which highlights the 400 richest people in the United States. You know, just in case you wanted to feel bad about your measly bank account (we're right there with you!). You may not be surprised to learn that the average age of the billionaires on the list is 67. After all, it takes a long time to accumulate all that wealth, right? But some much younger people managed to make the list as well. In fact, 14 people are under the age of 40, and two of them are in their 20s. Some are self-made; others inherited their wealth. Check out this list of the five youngest billionaires and how they rose to the ranks of the richest people in the nation before even hitting the big 4-0.
5. Julio Mario Santo Domingo III, 32
Julio Mario Santo Domingo III is the oldest billionaire on the young billionaires top 5 list. At 32, that's saying something. Domingo is a DJ by trade, but he owes his billionaire status to a beer fortune he inherited from his father and grandfather. His grandfather had a stake in SABMiller, and Domingo's father passed away in 2009. SABMiller was acquired by Anheuser-Busch InBev, so Domingo now has a stake in that company. His net worth is $2.5 billion, according to Forbes. https://twitter.com/Forbes/status/844246734628933632
