A German man gained international attention after becoming the youngest billionaire in the world, thanks to inheriting a 50% stake in Germany’s largest drugstore chain, DM-Drogerie Markt. In April 2021, his name surfaced in the Forbes annual billionaire rankings, sparking widespread curiosity about his background. Surprisingly, not much is publicly known about Lehmann and his personal life. Before he rose to fame, it was revealed that his father had transferred a significant share in DM-Drogerie Markt to him when he was just 14 years old. His father, Guenther Lehmann, originally made the pivotal investment in the company back in 1974, laying the foundation for the family’s vast fortune.
He stayed under the supervision of a trustee until he turned 18, a milestone he reached in September 2020.
