Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Bill Gates are perhaps the first billionaires that come to mind when you think of billionaires.
However, what about Clemente Del Vecchio?
It’s kind of humorous that the 19-year-old is the youngest billionaire in the world, but it’s quite implausible.
In actuality, Clemente doesn’t have a secret talent like Bill Gates or a method to make millions of dollars; rather, he comes from the well-known Del Vecchio family.
His father, millionaire Italian industrialist Leonardo Del Vecchio, founded and served as chairman of Luxottica.
You should have an idea of the kind of money we’re talking about because Luxottica is, in reality, the largest manufacturer and supplier of frames and glasses worldwide.
Clemente Del Vecchio and his five siblings received a sizable fortune after their father passed away, catapulting them into the top 1% of the world’s wealthiest people.
Leonardo ranked second in Italy and 54th globally at the time of his death, with an estimated net worth of an incredible $24.1 billion.
Clemente is a youngster with an astonishing $3.5 billion fortune, mostly because of his late father’s eyewear company, despite the fact that not much is known about him.
Though Clemente is the youngest billionaire in history, he keeps a low profile and doesn’t work directly for his father’s businesses, at least not right now.
He is devoted to his academics and hobbies. He has stated that he wants to attend college and work in the scientific and technological domains. He is known to have a strong interest in these subjects.
Having said that, Clemente may be up to more than just assuming control of an established enterprise.
He apparently owns a number of opulent properties in Italy, including an apartment in Milan and a home on Lake Como. He is also interested in real estate.
It is known that Clemente has already dabbled in investing and taken some chances with companies like Zoom and FlixBus.
Clemente has the potential to have a significant influence as the youngest billionaire in history, and it will be interesting to follow his path in the years to come.
