The list of the world’s youngest billionaires has been reshaped by Gen Z, where inheritance, family business stakes, and generational wealth continue to dominate. Even before hitting 30, these individuals have amassed fortunes worth billions. At just 19 years old, the youngest among them already carries a net worth of $5.4 billion.
This ranking highlights the top 10 richest Gen Z billionaires and their fortunes — but interestingly, no Indian name appears on the list.

A Global Billionaire Landscape Without India’s Gen Z
The data underscores how wealth is concentrated in Europe, South Korea, and Brazil, driven mainly by inheritance and family business empires. While India has produced several self-made billionaires in older generations, no Indian Gen Z billionaire has yet broken into this ultra-rich global club.
This snapshot of fortunes reveals how dynasties continue to shape global wealth, and how Gen Z is inheriting—not building—from business legacies already decades strong.
