Readers flocked to our tenth annual 30 Under 30 list—and tweeted praise for Travis Scott, the Millennial Midas on the issue’s cover.

Travis Scott is a Millennial Midas—except everything he touches turns to platinum. The hip-hop superstar, a member of the Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2018, graced the cover of our tenth annual Under 30 issue (December 2020) as we examined how his marketing acumen has become as sharp as his skill at the mic and the mixing board. Tweeted @thethinkingbat: “Feels good to see artists breaking the norms and stereotypes by making such clever business deals.” This year’s Under 30 honorees—600 in all, across 20 industries in the U.S. and Canada—might not all be household names, but they’re getting there, in fields as varied as sports, venture capital, gaming, fashion and tech. Equally diverse are the entrepreneurs themselves: 40% of this year’s class are women, and 49% people of color. “Congrats to all my friends, colleagues and mentors for making this year’s Forbes Under 30 list,” tweeted Sahil Bloom, a vice president at Altamont Capital Partners. “Y’all are amazing!”
