Meet 6 'Self-made' Billionaires from Asia-Pacific BIZ Experiences India has worked around 6 Billionaires from the Asia-Pacific who made it big without any backing

Ever since Kylie Jenner reached the billion-dollar valuation mark, a dialogue around self-made billionaires has started making rounds, especially those who achieved the momentous feat at a young age. Around the globe we have come across many such enterprising names, be it Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg or Snapchat's Evan Spiegel, many from the west reached the pinnacle of success at a young age.

Amid the hoopla, Asia-Pacific is often left behind due to the lack of show around reaching the 10-figure mark. However, that doesn't imply that the region has any dearth of talented individuals pursuing their BIZ Experiencesial dreams. While Forbes has generously put it that the global financial crisis has hit APAC the hardest, removing 60 Asians from the Billionaire's list, there are many still holding onto their fortunes.

While we have Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani proudly sitting at number 13 of the world's richest list with the worth of $50 billion, there are many youngpreneurs whose diligence over the years has earned them a deserving spot to be mentioned among Asia's Youngest Richest. BIZ Experiences India has worked around 6 Billionaires from the Asia-Pacific who made it big without any backing:
