At the top of the list is Zuckerberg, 25, the founder of social networking website Facebook,
which has over 400 million users around the globe. The stunning success of the site has
earned him some $4 billion and the title of the world's youngest self-made billionaire.
Yoshikazu Tanaka of Japan, 33, is called Asia's Zuckerberg as he also made his fortune
($1.4 billion) from a social networking site, Gree.
John Arnold, the 36-year-old CEO of hedge fund Centaurus Energy, is second on the list with
$4 billion. He founded the hedge fund with an $8 million bonus he received from Enron right
before its bankruptcy and has expanded it to manage over $5 billion.
Kostyantin Zhevago of Ukraine, 36, stands alone on the list as the only European self-made
billionaire at $1.2 billion.
India's Shahid Balwa, also 36, began by opening a restaurant in Mumbai and then expanding
to build an estimated fortune of $1 billion.
The list also includes those born with a silver spoon in their mouth: China's Yang Huiyan
($3.4 billion) and Lee Ziaohui ($1 billion), both 28 years old, the Hariri brothers, Fahd and
Aymin, 29 and 31 years old respectively ($1.4 billion each), and Albert von Thurn und Taxis
($2.2 billion).
