> 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?

There aren't that many self-made billionaires of any age.
