TL;DR? He inherited his bux.
Clemente's father, Italian billionaire Leonardo Del Vecchio, former chairman of EssilorLuxottica, the world's largest eyeglasses firm, passed away at 87 in June last year. His substantial $25.5 billion fortune was inherited by his wife and six children, including Clemente- who became the world's youngest billionaire in 2022.
Lets stop just for a moment. This Clemente person is 19. His dad is 87... that means his dad made a child at 68 💀
I hope he chokes on it.
Birth Lottery.
Dude didn't do anything to make it.
Why am I not surprised that he didn't do a single thing to earn that money?
Because you cant earn that much money no matter who you are, without taking advantage of others and crushing them.
He didn't even have to do that. He didn't lift a finger. He just waited for his father to die.
Oh i saw, but even his family did nothing to actually earn it. Its just not morally doable.
Being born into the right family isn't easy.
His dad had him when he was basically 70 years old. It can't be fun having a dad who is older than most grandfathers. But yeah I guess the money makes up for it for the rest of his life.
