the globe. Currently, basking in its new found glory, the company has
now released its Spectacle glasses that can be seen on the faces of
almost every teen who is familiar with the brand.
According to Forbes Magazine, Spiegel a self-made billionaire is valued at $2.1 billion dollars and holds the title of the world's youngest billionaire at the tender age of 26.
At a business conference held at Stanford University, he stated the fact that he rose from almost nothing to achieve his American dream. Recently, he boasted that he was young, successful, and white and just got really lucky in his endeavors. He also made reference that life isn't
fair because it took many people a lifetime to create wealth, let alone
succeed, but here he is at the very young age of 26, wearing the title
of the world's youngest billionaire.
The astute business magnate is about to take his company public; it
is touted as one of the hottest IPO that will hit the stock markets in
2017. The public offering is hotly anticipated by shareholders who will
be lining up to own a piece of the popular tech company. Notably, with
the purchase of the company's shares, Snap Inc., value

are declaring that it could rise a lot higher than the suggested
multi-billion dollar amount.
