2. Elon Musk
The man behind SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk is very young for a multibillionaire. Valued at $14.2 billion as of April 2016, Musk is exceptionally bright – earning most of his fortune on his own. At just 24 years old in 1995, he earned 22 million dollars for selling Zip2 – he would go on to build that money in a variety of ventures, including building up Paypal to what it is today. From there, Musk would start SpaceX, a rocket program aimed to begin the colonization of Mars. Unlike many billionaires, Musk is always searching to make the world a better place and has done some very radical things with his business, including releasing the patents for Tesla in the hopes of eliminating our dependency on fossil fuels.
