His company, Snap Inc., is preparing for one of the most hotly anticipated IPOs of 2017 at a valuation around $20 billion. The Snapchat app is beloved by teens everywhere, and Snap's recently released Spectacles glasses are one of the most sought after gadgets in tech.
And with an estimated net worth of $2.1 billion, 26-year-old Spiegel is the youngest billionaire in the world, according to Forbes.
