Yahoo Finance The 10 youngest people on the Forbes 400 list and how they got there

Did you pick up on the Silicon Valley, self made-success theme? Or the college-dropout theme? Yahoo Finance isn’t drawing any conclusions about whether that’s correlation or causation. But we are feeling a little bad about how we spent our 20s and 30s relative to this crowd.
Note: Net Worth is based on real time data as of 9/30/2015, according to Forbes.com.
