The youngest self-made billionaire in the world is beautiful and talented
The title of the world's youngest self-made female billionaire has passed to Whitney Wolfe Herd. This beautiful billionaire is the founder and CEO of Bumble, a dating app exclusively for women.
Ms. Whitney Wolfe Herd's assets skyrocketed after Ms. Bumble's shares "skyrocketed" after a brilliant successful IPO (IPO: the first public issuance of shares).
Bumble's stock was trading at 70.31 USD/share on the first day of official trading. According to Forbes, the assets of this beautiful 31-year-old billionaire have reached 1.5 billion USD.
According to Whitney Wolfe Herd, to become a successful businessman, anyone can successfully start a small job and turn it into a successful business job.
You can make money from anything, said Wolfe Herd, who built Bumble into a business that now costs more than $7 billion.
To start, lets find what youre passionate about, she says, and if youre really good at it, there are ways to make it a business. For example, you may be a great chef - start a cooking blog, then start charging for recipes. It depends on what your talent is, whatever it can be.
