I think around the age of 25 this list changed from a source of inspiration to resentment.

My observation is these lists tend to be better for PR than predictors of future performance. I knew 3 folks in a Wall Street 30 under 30 list, and all had subsequent self inflicted career catastrophies.

Oh wow that is a 'slow' website. After initial site loading it used up 100% of one CPU core for all the animations. When scrolling up and down the hiding / changing side menus and ads make it even slower. That is an incredible piece of work on how not to do frontend.

EDIT: typo

I dont know whats included on the website but it is loading really slow and the scrolling is laggy, I gave up after the first person highlighted.

Free karma to whoever posts a plain-text list.

I always wonder how you get on these lists. Is it about having a good media agent and nice pictures?

A friend of mine ended up on the Forbes "30 Under 30" because he was friends with the journalist who was compiling it. He was "qualified", but there are thousands of other people who are just as good.

Generally a good PR person.

I bet Elizabeth Holmes was on this list at one point in time.

Yes. It's 99% that.
