Question about young self-made billionaires/millionaires etc

OP didnt really stipulate self-made for that age. so I was a little confused.

[/ QUOTE ]

In that case there are probably thousands of people who are born millionaires.

there are very very few self-made millionaires under say, 21. less than 2,000 is my estimate. at least a couple of those would be 2p2ers, I think.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ill bet you there are waaaaay more than 2000 under 21. Ill give you 3:1 that there are over 15k in america.

[/ QUOTE ]
Is there any way to prove this one way or the other? I hate when people offer bets on things that clearly can't come to fruition, so I hope you have thought of something I haven't.

ya, I thought about it, before I posted actually. For one, you could go through every tv show that has been on for a couple of seasons (ie Everybody loves ray), all 3 of those kids are millionaires Im sure, and estimate. Check out modeling agencies, talents agencies, etc also. It would take a ton of digging, but if the bet was taken, Im sure I could find 20k people in america under 21 that are self made millionaires.

I'd definitely take this.

we can discuss through pm

I personally doubt you could find 20k under 21 and confirm them to be millionaires. Obviously just being signed by a modeling agency doesn't qualify, so I'm not sure how you could really do this without the people's consent.

The Olsen Twins probably hold the record for most "self-earned" at the youngest age, so long as that age is after five or so. Right?

guids how much are you willing to bet on this?

also to clarify "self made" has to mean not family money and not in the family business or at a job from friend/family. If we're at all close to the 15k threshold we can research individual cases.

ps. on more thought it seems impossible to research.

guids and I are in the process of working this out

[xxThe_Lebowskixx]

the olsen toddlers being self made is debatable.

[ImsaKidd]

How do you expect 20k people under 21 have made 1 mil by themselves?

The only thing that pops to mind is an invention or a business (internet poker = business imo). Maybe there are a lot more people in this category than I thought.
