Just wanted to point out that this is a continuing trend in the U.S. from the 1884. Since that time more than 80% of all millionaires are first generation. The key is the focus on individualism and freedom.
It would be interesting to add to your list those under 30 who made a million not on the internet. It’s a big list too!
It’s again the new e-era. Without it where would Mark Zuckerberg be? Say, Mark Zuckerberg 20-30 years ago
Just think how well he could have if he’d dropped out of Harvard. He might be making an offer for Microsoft or Apple today.
I think you messed up 7? WordPress is Matt Mullenweg.
Iam highly motivated by their results. Iam on my way to millions too. Iam 23yrs old.
