Forbes describes Jung Min and Jung Yeon as “holding about 9% each of the online game company Nexon, established in 1994 by the deceased founder Kim Jung Ju, through the holding company NXC. They inherited the shares when their father died in 2002 at 54, though the sisters do not hold positions in the company.”

Meanwhile, the youngest billionaire is Liviah Boit (Brazil, 19), born in 2005. She is known as the heiress to WEG, the world’s largest electrical equipment manufacturer.

Additionally, American pop star Taylor Swift has made the New Billionaires of 2024 list, drawing interest. Swift’s fortune is estimated at $1.1 billion, making her the only artist to earn over a billion dollars from songs and performances alone.
