Many dream of making it onto the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. But should they? In Good Work’s latest Case Study, the Investigative News Team lays bare the controversial world of Forbes 30 Under 30.
Thanks to the following folks for their assistance with this vital investigation: Jake Karls, an entrepreneur who has made the list; Chris Bakke, an entrepreneur who (sadly) didn’t make the list; and Jody Fisher, a New York-based public relations expert; and Sarah Ross, a licensed medical professional and comedian.

Journalism? LOL. So many jealous videos being made about Forbes 30 under 30... Everything you are saying is so far from the truth. And I know for a FACT that you can NOT "buy your way into it". Any another inaccuracy you failed to mention in your video: Elizabeth Holmes was NEVER on the Forbes 30 under 30 list. Finally, from the thousands of people under the Forbes 30 under 30 list over the years, only tiny fraction of them (like less than 10 people in total) were involved in some kind of financial crime, but they were all in the FINANCE CATEGORY. There are so many other categories in this list where everyone truly deserves to be on it. Also, if you look at anything like a college or school, from the thousands of alumni, there are always a handful of people who ended up doing something bad, but it is it fair to say then that ALL of the alumni from that school or college are 'scammers'? Stop making badly researched generalizations about this list and spreading lies!

I was on the list. I didn't even apply, but a journalist I was in contact with as a source for other things offered to nominate me. I got on on the strength of that. I never had to pay anything, but in order to attend the "summit" they had for the hundreds of others who made the list that year, I think there was a registration fee. I had scarcely even heard of it before I got on it and I just assumed my reporter friend was trying to be nice to me.

There’s definitely an ego factor that pressured or drive some of those top 30 under 30 winners into criminal activities because they cannot accept failure. The list is a danger to have as it not only strive you to be the best at a very young age, but also limited their ability to experience failure and learn from it. Most of the people in the top 100 riches list are all over 50, even 60-90 years old for a reason.
