These Are The World’s 20 Billionaires

Brian Chesky – $14.7 Billion

Brian Chesky is the co-founder of Airbnb, which helped make him a billionaire before he turned forty. Chesky came up with the idea when the Industrial Designers Society of America hosted a conference in San Francisco. At the time, all the hotels were booked. Chesky and his roommate bought three air mattresses and rented out their apartment to help them afford rent that month They marketed, tongue in cheek, the idea as an “Airbed and Breakfast.” Later, that became Airbnb, a peer-to-peer lodging company that would gross billions. Chesky was named to the “100 Most Influential People” in 2015 by Time.
