The Italian billionaire, Leonardo Del Vecchio was the largest producer and retailer of sunglasses. After his demise, Clemente acquired 12.5 per cent ownership of EssilorLuxottica, which took his net worth to Rs. 33,000 crore. Clemente Del Vecchio is no longer the world's youngest billionaire, as he has been replaced by a 19-year-old Brazilian girl named Livia Voigt. In April 2024, when Forbes released the list of youngest billionaires in the world, Livia Voigt's name shocked the entire world. The 19-year-old Brazilian is still in college but has replaced Italian billionaire, Leonardo Del Vecchio's son, Clemente Del Vecchio as the world's youngest billionaire.
