At 27, John Collison is the world's youngest self-made billionaire. It's rumoured to be lonely at the top but luckily Collison has his 29-year-old brother, Patrick - who also counts his wealth in ten digits - to keep him company.
The two brothers from a small village in rural Ireland founded Stripe, a company which runs the software behind more than 100, 000 businesses. It handles online payments as well as providing a host of other services that help make it simple for firms to run their websites.
Many people may not have heard of Stripe but it counts Tesla's Elon Musk and PayPal founder Peter Thiel as investors. A funding round last year valued Stripe at over $9bn ($7bn) , meaning the Collison brothers each have a stake worth at least $1. 1bn, according to Forbes magazine.
