Editor’s note: This article was first published in March 2014 as news from that month based on that year’s Forbes billionaires list. Perenna Kei’s age (24), her net worth, Dustin Moskovitz’s age (29) and the “youngest billionaire” title all refer to that moment, and her role at the company may have changed since.
Until now, the world’s youngest billionaire was Dustin Moskovitz, the 29-year-old Facebook co-founder. A 24-year-old woman from Hong Kong, Perenna Kei, has taken his place, according to Forbes, which reports a net worth of 1.3 billion.
So far Forbes has not been able to find a verifiable photo of this woman, who is trying to keep her image out of the public eye.
Of course, unlike the other young billionaires on the Forbes list, Perenna Kei did not make her fortune; she inherited it from her family. Her father, Ji Haipeng, is chairman and CEO of Logan Property Holdings, where his daughter Perenna works as a non-executive director.
Various sources say Perenna graduated with a degree in economics and finance from the University of London in 2011. She also earned a diploma in economics from the Singapore Institute of Management.
Everything suggests that this young billionaire will one day be in charge of running Logan Property Holdings, a company that recently listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange and which, by the way, has performed well at first glance and could be worth studying as an investment.
