Máte nápad za miliardy dolarů? Mladí technologičtí magnáti to dokázali. V roce 2007 vytvořil jednadvacetiletý David Karp blogovací systém Tumblr, který se během pěti let stal jednou z nejnavštěvovanějších webových stránek na světě s 170 miliony uživateli. V roce 2013 ho koupila Yahoo za více než miliardu dolarů, což Karpovi přineslo asi 5,2 miliardy korun. Tento příběh není ojedinělý; v Silicon Valley se objevila nová generace miliardářů, kteří se od svých předchůdců výrazně liší. Jsou mladí, rychle dobývají trh a nepotřebují velký počáteční kapitál. Mnozí z nich ještě studují, ale už vlastní atraktivní firmy, často jen díky jedinému nápadu. Takové podnikání nemá v historii obdoby – firmy mohou mít vysokou hodnotu, i když nevytvářejí zisk. Redaktoři americké verze Forbesu, vedení Randallem Lanem, se rozhodli podrobně prozkoumat svět mladých technologických magnátů. Díky dlouhodobému zaměření na podnikatelské příběhy mají unikátní přístup k těmto úspěšným osobnostem. Čtenáři se tak mohou dozvědět, jak vnímají svůj úspěch lidé, kteří si první miliardu vydělali ještě před tím, než se naučili chovat jako dospělí. Kniha nabízí šestnáct portrétů, které umožňují nahlédnout do firem jako Spotify, Airbnb, Tumblr či Twitter.
