“Hasta la vista, poor”! Terminator and the youngest billionaire on this year's “Forbes” list

What connects the terminator and a teenager named John? It turns out that not only movies about the killer's cyborg. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Johannes von Baumbach for the first time hit the list of billionaires of the Forbes magazine. The young German, however, is several times richer than the star from Hollywood, but he won the property in a completely different way.

This year's billionaire list of Forbes magazine has 3028 people, of which 288 are novices, whose assets were first valued at over $ 1 billion. Nearly 70% of new billionaires are people who came to their fortune themselves, which indicates the strength of entrepreneurship. However, there are other ways to get billions.

Schwarzenegger: “I'll Be Back” … with an even larger wallet

Let's start with Arnold Schwarzeneggerbodybuilders, action cinema stars, as well as the former governor of California. Not only did he repeat the famous “I'll Be Back” on the screen, but also returned to business salons with an increasingly thicker portfolio. His fortune is not only the result of cinema hits, such as “Terminator: Court Day” (where the task was to protect from the death of John Connor), “Predator” or “absolute memory”. Schwarzenegger successfully invested commercial real estate, private equity activities and funds. Effect? Wealth worth $ 1.1 billion.

Springsteen: “Born in the USA”, earned in Sony

On the other hand Bruce Springsteenknown as “The Boss”, he built his empire thanks to music. His voice accompanied the Americans for decades, and songs such as “Born To Run” or “Dancing in the Dark” became the hymns of generations. Financial success sealed the sale of the entire music catalog to Sony in 2021 for about $ 500 million. In total, his property is about 1.2 billion today. Rockandrollowa soul – a billion account.

There are, of course, more of the stars of cinema, sport or stage on the “Forbes” list, but you can say that they are old stalkers, because they have been valued once again for over $ 1 billion. This is, for example, Michael Jordan ($ 3.5 billion), Steven Spielberg ($ 5.3 billion), or Rihanna ($ 1.4 billion) and Taylor Swift ($ 1.6 billion).

Young, rich and (not necessarily) independent

The billionaires who have made their property themselves include Alexandr Wangwhich is only 28 years old. As a co -founder and CEO Scale AI – a company dealing with data for artificial intelligence – he proved that technology is today the shortest way to a fortune worth $ 2 billion according to “Forbes”. It gives him the title of the youngest billionaire on a list that made a fortune himself.

On the other hand Johannes von Baumbach, 19-year-old from Germany He found himself for the first time on the list, but his path was a bit … more family-fruitaceutical. Inheritance of a family related to the family associated with the Boehringer Ingelheim group, he became the youngest billionaire of this year's list. In his case, the property – estimated at $ 5.4 billion – fell from the sky, just like 14 other heirs of a fortune founded in 1885 a pharmaceutical giant.

Two richest novices on the “Forbes” list, i.e. Marilyn Simons ($ 31 billion)), widow after the founder of hedge funds Jim Simons (died in May 2024), and
Lyndal Stephens Greth ($ 25.8 billion), daughter of the kerosene-gasowo tyry Stephens (died in August 2024).

Is it because of “Hasta La Vista” or “Born to Run”, or through the code line, or a luxurious souvenir of the family, the financial elite is growing every year. In the 39th edition of the annual list, the most billionaires found in history. Their total warehouse estate estimated at 16.1 trillion dollars, $ 2 trillion more than a year ago. Even those who received billions as a gift will have to manage them, which may be more difficult than getting them.
