TL;DR? He inherited his bux.

Clemente's father, Italian billionaire Leonardo Del Vecchio, former chairman of EssilorLuxottica, the world's largest eyeglasses firm, passed away at 87 in June last year. His substantial $25.5 billion fortune was inherited by his wife and six children, including Clemente- who became the world's youngest billionaire in 2022.
- Lets stop just for a moment. This Clemente person is 19. His dad is 87... that means his dad made a child at 68 💀
- I hope he chokes on it.
His dad had him when he was basically 70 years old. It can't be fun having a dad who is older than most grandfathers. But yeah I guess the money makes up for it for the rest of his life.
Why am I not surprised that he didn't do a single thing to earn that money?
- Because you cant earn that much money no matter who you are, without taking advantage of others and crushing them.
  
  He didn't even have to do that. He didn't lift a finger. He just waited for his father to die.
- Being born into the right family isn't easy.
Birth Lottery.

Dude didn't do anything to make it.
