A number of these startup billionaires are paper-billionaires due to Facebook's grossly inflated private market valuation.<p>I expect to see a lot of these names dropping off the billionaire list as quickly as they got onto it.

Meh. Good for them, but fawning over these guys is like aspiring to be the next Michael Jordan, Bill Gates, or Warren Buffet. The startup media focuses too much on the outright winners instead of... I don't know... not failing?

I have the most respect for #10. It boggles my mind how you can become a billionaire from eggs (not sold on the internet.)

&#62; Another Facebook co-founder, Saverin was given a sympathetic portrayal in the 2010 movie The Social Network.<p>What exactly was so sympathetic about being portrayed as a guy who could not separate emotion from business, was terrible with girls, nearly destroyed his own business by closing the account, let himself be tricked into giving away his stock. He got off more poorly than Sean Parker.

Did you notice that most (all?) of these billionaires are related to social networks?<p>I wonder how volatile is their fortune.
