Luca Del Vecchio

Luca Del Vecchio's primary achievement is becoming one of the youngest billionaires in Europe at age 20. He inherited a 12.5% stake in Delfin, the holding company controlling EssilorLuxottica, a global eyewear giant. His wealth ranks him among the world's richest individuals, with a net worth of $5.9 billion as of 2026. While he has not earned traditional accolades, his position as a next-generation heir places him at the center of a multibillion-dollar business empire.
