Every billionaire in the world who is under the age of 30 has inherited their wealth, according to new research by Forbes magazine.

Forbes recently published its World's Billionaires List. And all 15 people on the list who are aged 30 or younger did nothing to create their wealth — they simply received it.

According to Forbes this is the first time since 2009 there have been no self-made billionaires aged under 30. And the magazine says it's a sign that a "great wealth transfer" has begun from aging billionaires to the younger members of their families.

The youngest billionaire on the list is 19-year-old Livia Voigt of Brazil. She is worth $1.1 billion thanks to her late grandfather, who founded the electrical equipment company WEG Industries.

The richest of the young billionaires are the Mistry brothers, Firoz, 27, and Zahan, 25. They are each worth $4.9 billion thanks to their shares in the multi-industry Indian company Tata Sons. They inherited their wealth from their father, who died in a car crash in 2022.

Among the 25 youngest billionaires on the list — who are all aged 33 or younger — a few in their early 30s are self-made. However, just one of those self-made billionaires is new: 33-year-old Shunsaku Sagami of Japan. Sagami is the founder of M&A Research Institute, and is worth $1.6 billion.

One self-made billionaire who is still fairly young at 34 is Taylor Swift, who is worth $1.1 billion. In 2023, she became the first musician to become a billionaire mainly from the money she makes from her music.

Here is the vocabulary covered in this episode: 

1.	demonstration (n.) – the act of showing someone how to do something, or
how something works
2.	resemblance (n.) – the fact that two people or things look like each other or are similar in some other way

Why a lot of people like to buy books in the book store？ The story is suit for the listeners whose level is HSK1 or above.
书店里有什么？
学校里有一个书店，去那儿买书的人很多。这个书店能卖很多书，我想那儿的书很便宜。有一天，我去那儿买书，我问书店老板：“你的书能便宜一点儿吗”？老板说：“不能，一本书50块钱。”
书不便宜，为什么很多人买书呢？
我每天去书店看书，一个星期以后，我知道为什么了。书店里有桌子和椅子，桌子上有水、茶、咖啡，很多人坐在椅子上看书、喝茶。你能买喜欢的书，不买也没关系。
我现在也喜欢在那个书店买书了。

Today we're looking at vocabulary that we can use when someone has been asking us to do something for a long time, and you don't really want to do it, but you eventually agree! We're taking a look at the phrasal verbs "to give up", "to cave in", and "to capitulate". I hope you find today's podcast useful!
