Forbes 30 under 30
Forbes is doing this interesting feature called "30 under 30," which is a list of 30 people under the age of 30, spanning across 12 different areas, who are considered to be at the top of their respective fields and will likely be tomorrow's leaders. A few of them are familiar names, the most obvious being mark zuckerberg. But the vast majority are those who will probably gain more recognition in the coming years.
Here's the list for finance.
I think someone posted this already.
I know 2 or 3 of the Wealth Management guys on there
More importantly, how many went to HBS?
Sidenote: Some of the one sentence descriptions of these people are hilarious. "High Frequency Trading genius poached by Goldman in 2010."
I like "Cambridge math grad now rock star emerging markets trader." GS MD at 27 = boss
Alexa Von Tobe could get it
Negative Ghost Ryder that is a no GO I repeat a no GO!!
My name is gonna be on this list in 2 yrs

Interesting, something I always like to do, is dig up this list of a few years ago, and see where they are now. I can hand on heart say that noone I admire/aspire to be like (and there's a good few in that list), have ever been on this 30 under 30 stuff.
It's the same as with the child chess prodigies, where are they now?
Reading some of those numbers, normal distribution, tail end, and high sample population spring to mind.
I was just about to say the same thing. Interesting how some tend to "burn out" or something. But got to admit, that's some crazy stuff.
A couple of these guys are regular posters on WSO.
I think the PWM guys are the more interesting ones. Wonder if they built they're wealth from scratch or from family networks. Truly impressive if the former.
I KNOW A VLAD FROM RUTGERS
Surprised this hasn't devolved into a Michelle Mayer VS Ernestine Fu thread. Heh. Gotta say though I'm a little puzzled with what this chick is trying to do:
Agree Jorge. No disrespect to a hustler, but I just don't get what Alexa's doing on the list. This is a chick who has admitted that she was working at Morgan Stanley and didn't know how to balance her checkbook. Now she wants to be the Suze Orman for the millennial generation.
Props to the guys who made the 30 under 30, every day they hustlin'?
A senior associate at PwC?
I have no doubt that the guy is doing great, but he's only a Sr. Associate.
Maybe he's off cultivating his ideas on his own in a sales role, but otherwise I could get hired on to be this guy's boss.
Think we can all agree that "Mona El Isa" is the best name there.
It's a weird list. There are some legit ballers like asita anche and ahsim khan, and then there are quite a few who makes you wonder how they got on the list. There are plenty of much more accomplished young finance folks who just don't want the publicity of being on Forbes and/or their friends and co-workers did not submit their names to the Forbes editors.
This article is an embarrassment to Forbes... "Aced the Series 7"? Lol... with three authors, you'd hope one of them would have a clue. Apparently not.
Yeah, I laughed my butt off when I read that. To be fair though, maybe they meant the guy got every question right on the exam, which is definitely laudable but not worthy of being mentioned on Forbes.
On the other hand, the people featured in science, tech, social&mobile lists, are pretty damm impressive.
So basically, they put a list of a bunch of VPs and MDs ? Lol, what's the big deal ? I know plenty of 28 year olds managing 500-800M AUM
This is a pretty awful list
some of these people are clearly ballers
others are clearly good at nothing other than self-promotion
also lol how does a being a VP at BAML get you on the list?
Donald Glover makes an apperance.
If you want to see "good at nothing other than self promotion" click on the Real Estate section. The guy at the top of the list is a complete d-bag and good for nothing. I know him personally and thus this entire feature is now worthless in my opinion.

/\ haha that guy looks like an absolute twat
Yup. 2nd guy down on the Real Estate list is a complete mommy-made millionare. He's friends with a bunch of guys I went to college with. Also, google his name and see what comes up about him and his brother. We used to kid about this one all the time @ school.
wow
some of these guys are shit hot, but majority of that list is just lol. I mean associate at blackstone isgood, but its not list worthy imho.
Same for some of the "got promoted to vp one year early" shit etc.
