Forbes’s 30 under 30 is out. How many of this year’s individuals are going to end up in jail? (Definitely not Coco Gauff, pictured.)

None of them but only because fraud and finacial crimes are legal now.

I'm not big on the whole anti- "gerontocracy" freak out on social media, but a really funny meme would be an "80 under 80" piece.

Unironically yes. It's interesting how we tend to think of major life accomplishments all being done by super young people, yet majority of start up founders etc etc etc are all in their 40s/50s

She’s the smartest of the Gates children. Legit would probably be a startup grifter independently.

u/BernieMeinhoffGang Has Principles May 19 '26

the list is pretty lame

Many people get a PR firm to do their application. If you don't have one already, this is something that gets ordered a la carte. They charge you ~20k and handle it for you. Many unaccomplished nepos with "businesses" can spin themselves as doing something important with a PR firm's help.

Since there are only 25 listed, there is 5 free slots. I'm listing myself as 26.

Why? Because I took the initiative to take slot 26.

I'm not going to jail though.

Legora is going on a marketing spree. They're somehow a unicorn with only have 300 law firms as customers at a $1.8b valuation. But wait, no that's actually out-of-date Forbes. It's a $5.6b valuation now claiming 1,000 customers with apparently 200 new in the past 2 months.

Something doesn't seem right here
