There are retired 16 to 24 year olds?

Yes, although I suspect some fraction (perhaps a large fraction) of that are trust fund kids who won't ever have to work to begin with. Nick D'Aloisio, who was 17 when Yahoo! paid him $30M for Summly is basically retired. So it does happen :-)

Yeah, it appears from the graph like maybe 1-2% - I assume these are people who won big (lottery, stock options, startup, very very wealthy families).

I don't see why it's a question?
