According to Forbes’ rich list, an unprecedented 2,755 billionaires feature on 2021’s billionaire’s list with a record-breaking new billionaire created every 17 hours, on average. But with endless possibilities for places to live, which of the world’s cities are most attractive to the youngest of this year’s billionaires?
The investment experts at money.co.uk analysed Forbes’ Real Time Billionaires list for all billionaires under the age of 40 and their current cities of residence.
Spanning five of the seven continents, only 18 countries are home to billionaires under the age of 40 – and, according to Forbes, there are currently just 89 billionaires under 40 in the world.
