13 Of The Youngest CEOs Who Will Make You Feel Like You’ve Done Nothing With Your Life

Life isn't a competition — but if it was, these CEOs would totally be killing it. The accomplishments and net worths these individuals have amassed in their relatively few years in the business are all truly extraordinary. Here are 13 very ambitious CEOs who will make you feel like you totally slacked off!

Evan Spiegel, 25

The CEO of Snapchat dropped out of college and was already a successful CEO by the age of 23. How well is he doing financially? Well, he recently rejected a $3 billion buyout offer from Facebook, so business isn’t too shabby for the frat dude turned businessman.

David Karp, 28

The founder and CEO of the popular website Tumblr, Karp is reportedly worth more than $200 million. He launched the website when he was only 20 years old. Oh, and he used to model for J. Crew. Brains and beauty? Some people have all the luck!

Pete Cashmore, 29

CEO and founder of the popular blog Mashable, Cashmore created the site at the tender young age of 19! He also happens to be worth a cool $95 million.

Elizabeth Holmes, 31

Elizabeth Holmes founded the blood test company Theranos in 2003 when she was a 19-year-old undergraduate at Stanford University. Not only is her company changing lives, but she’s also worth around $4.5 billion. Not million – BILLION! She is the youngest self-made billionaire in the world.

Ben Lerer, 30

Co-founder and CEO of Thrillist, Lerer is the definition of a sophisticated man (which makes sense, given the content of the website). A project that started in his one bedroom apartment is now worth over $40 million.

Hilary Rowland, 31

Worth $300 million, Rowland founded eClick Interactive, the first women’s online magazine. In addition to that, she started a global initiative that creates women-run, earth-friendly factories in various African countries.

Ben Rattray, 35

The founder of Change.org was named one of TIME’s most influential people in the world two years ago. A true philanthropist, his net worth isn’t as high as other CEOs — but it’s still in the millions, to be sure.

Marissa Mayer, 40

Mayer may have just turned 40, but her accomplishments are truly outstanding. Worth $300 million, Mayer is the youngest CEO of any Fortune 500 Company today (she’s the powerhouse behind the Yahoo! empire).

Jared Hecht, 27

The founder and CEO of GroupMe sold his company to Skype for $80 million when he was just 26. He’s currently at work on a new start-up company (and our bet is that he’ll do just fine).

Sean Kelly, 29

The former snowboarding champion founded his own healthy vending machine company in 2008. He’s taking on the $42 billion vending machine industry with a fresh and fearless perspective.

Mark Zuckerberg, 31

Probably one of the all time greats in terms of young CEOs, the Facebook founder is only 31 and has an incredible net worth of $34.8 billion. Despite the controversial depictions in movies like “The Social Network,” Zuckerberg is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with and is considered by many to be one of the most influential young people in the world.

Ben Kaufman, 26

Kaufman was only 19 years old when he raised $1 million for his startup company Mophie. Today, Kaufman is known for being the force behind Quirky, an invention creation startup company that recently raised $68 million.

Cory Nieves, 10

Nieves is the 10-year-old founder and CEO of Mr. Cory’s Cookies. While exact figures of his net worth are unknown, his cookie business has been fairly successful (especially considering his age). It currently features nine different cookies and the company has had talks of collaborating with Kosher and nut-free markets in the years to come.
