Why are they arbitrary limiting it to under 30? Why not 40 or 50 or all of them? It seems kind of weird to me.

Wouldn't some of them be self-made if they increased the age? "None" is powerful.

That is my point. They choose 30 specifically to make a story out of it.

I mean, obviously? Is that nefarious? There's a story for 30 that probably doesn't exist for 40... should it not be written about?

It is a nonstory. Somebody who is 30 probably has not had enough time to become a billionaire even if they would by the time they are 40. It just seems like they are trying to make a point, but don't actually state what their point is.

You have to pick some number, if you take an age limit too high it becomes 'less' of a story.
