Recently, Forbes released the 2025 list of self-made wealth under 30, and the data is quite interesting. Among the top 13 on the list, 9 entrepreneurs are involved in artificial intelligence-related ventures. What about the remaining 4? Almost all of them have bet on the prediction market track.

Specifically, 27-year-old Polymarket founder is leading alone, followed closely by two 29-year-old co-founders of Kalshi, and the 29-year-old co-founder of Stake also made the list. Why are these young entrepreneurs all focusing on the prediction market? From the data on the list, the growth potential of this track is being reevaluated by capital and users. Whether it’s AI or prediction markets, they are becoming the new main battleground for wealth creation.

The prediction market this time is truly amazing; being able to leverage information advantage is like printing money. I've been following Polymarket, this guy is only 27 years old with this net worth, it's really terrifying. But to be honest, the AI side is even more complex, and the barrier to entry in prediction markets doesn't seem that high? Wait, there are only 4 people in the prediction market on the leaderboard? This data is a bit suspicious.

The prediction market is really taking off now. These young people are much smarter than we thought. Both AI and prediction markets are crashing simultaneously. What's the next hot trend? That guy from Polymarket is only 27 and already on the list. I'm still here studying candlestick charts. Prediction markets, to put it simply, are about betting on the future. They have a bit of a gambling vibe, but it seems like you can really make money. How does Forbes rank this list? Why are they all from the crypto world? These few are riding the wave. Is it luck or skill? I think they have both.

nah the real alpha's watching mempool flows on prediction markets rn... polymarket liquidity spreads are getting absolutely juiced while everyone's distracted by ai hype. sandwich that volatility correctly and you're printing money before institutions even notice the arb window
