Who said rich kids can’t be ambitious? Unlike the familiar stories of most successful people coming from poor backgrounds, the story of Evans Spiegel took a different turn. Meet Evan Spiegel, the spoiled child who became the youngest self-made billionaire.

In 2005, Evan Spiegel, the co-founder, and CEO of Snapchat was recognized as the youngest billionaire in the world.

If you had known Evan Spiegel since childhood, you would have been lost trying to figure out how Evan was able to become a self-made billionaire at that age.

Imagine waking up to the view of a fleet of luxurious cars, a personal chef, and regular vacations outside the country. This was the kind of life Evan had as a child. If he wanted, he could have chosen to relax all his life.

You could say the rich kid privilege Evan had as a child gave him a strong foundation for success. However, it takes a lot more to become the world’s youngest billionaire. Evan Spiegel defied the odds against him and got his reward.

THE BOY BORN WITH A SILVER SPOON

On the 4th of June, 1990, in Los Angeles, California, Evan Spiegel came into the lives of John Spiegel and Melissa Thomas, who were practicing lawyers with a fortune.
