The world is filled with the poorest of the poor and the richest of the rich. However, the poorer population far out balances the rich. Because of the opportunity that exists in Western society, some are able to make vast fortunes. If these individuals are extremely lucky, they are able to make millions before the age of 25. These riches are rare and far between though, usually occurring with Hollywood stars. Due to movie and/or album success, these young celebs were able to set themselves, and their families, up for life.
While the following fortunes are incredibly large, there have been many celebrities that have lost as much, or more, due to poor money management skills. These rising stars are on the right track to making millions more in their lifetimes though, and there is no indication that they will be losing money any time soon. Many of the richest young stars are those familiar faces (and voices) that appear on radios and television screens worldwide.
