The famous ’30 Under 30′ list publisher, Forbes has released its first-ever ‘Hall of Shame’ list featuring 10 of the most dubious people ever to make it to its prestigious 30 Under 30 list which Forbes regrets and would like to walk back on.
The Forbes 30 Under 30 List is one of the most sought-after media coverage among entrepreneurs, startup founders, businessmen and corporate leaders. For the last 13 years, Forbes has been publishing its ’30 Under 30′ list every year, showcasing 30 young entrepreneurs and changemakers below the age of 30 around the world.
Having honoured more than 10,000 wunderkinds and vetted some 100,000 candidates around the world, many Under 30 alumni have gone on to become tech titans, CEOs, and even billionaires. But, a few have turned out to be duds or far worse, and Forbes published the first-ever Hall of Shame list including the names which it wishes it could take back.
Here are the 10 people from the Hall of Shame List released by Forbes.
