In the latest Forbes ranking dedicated to the wealthiest people under 40, three young Americans—Adarsh Hiremath, Brendan Fudi, and Surya Midha—took the top spot. Their success is linked to the creation of an artificial intelligence startup called Mercor.
All three friends, who are 22 years old, met in school and continued their collaboration after graduating. In 2023, they joined forces to launch a platform that uses AI algorithms for recruitment.
A recent valuation of Mercor conducted by private investors in October revealed that the company's worth has reached $2.2 billion. Thus, the founders set a new record, surpassing Mark Zuckerberg, who became the youngest billionaire at the age of 23 in 2007.
The project's authors emphasize that their development reduces the influence of subjective factors in hiring employees. Unlike traditional interviews, where much depends on the assessment of an HR specialist, Mercor's algorithms allow for a more objective evaluation of candidates' professional skills.
