> Fueled by AI, prediction markets and online gambling, there are more self-made billionaires under 30 than ever before, 13 up from a previous record of 7.

Two of those examples are online gambling, which is controversial to the extent that it's partly outlawed in the US.

But more importantly, 13 isn't an awful lot. Approximately how many young people today have started successful businesses whose valuation is under $1 billion?

Yes it did. Billionaires are a relatively new thing, but successful businesses were led by young people across the entirety of human history.

And you should not praise someone for simply being a billionaire. That's a bad thing to be.
