Richer than Trump! What is known about the youngest and most mуsterious billionaire in the world
Of course, there are few billionaires in the world, but new ones appear every year. Today we will tell you about the youngest and most mysterious rich man.
Currently, the top line of the ranking of the youngest billionaires according to Forbes is occupied by 20-year-old German Kevin Lehmann.
Lehmann’s net worth in 2021 was estimated at $3.4 billion, making him richer than Donald Trump (who then had «only» $3.2 billion), but Kevin’s net worth is now around $2.4 billion, according to the latest Forbes data.
He is the heir to a large family business, the DM chain of drugstores and hardware stores, founded back in 1973. There are now 3,700 such outlets in Germany.
The network provides 41,000 jobs. According to sources, the company makes over $12 billion a year.
Kevin joined the ranks of the super-rich when he was still a teenager. His father, Günter Lehmann, gave his son his share in the company when he was 14 years old.
But until the guy came of age, hired employees managed the assets. Lehmann Jr. celebrated his 18th birthday in September 2020 and has since been the full owner of a 50% stake in the company.
However, they say that neither Kevin nor his father take an active part in the activities of the company. It’s quite difficult to find out for sure — both do not strive for publicity, do not lead social networks and do not give interviews.
Günther Lehmann at one time did not even want to comment on the transfer of shares to his son to the serious publication Wirtschaftswoche.
