Spotted: Forbes

Less than two months after Aubrey “Drake” Graham listed two posh Miami, Fla. condos for sale , the celebrity rapper has managed to flip them and turn a nice profit. Listed for $2.5 million, the final sales price for the side-by-side units was $2.4 million, a minor discount of 4%.

Drake, a Canada native valued at $11 million, purchased the units for a combined $1.9 million in January 2011, before re-listing them on the market at a 32% price hike this past January. The sale represents a 26% return on his investment, grossing nearly $500,000 before fees and taxes.

No matter how much money Carlos Slim, Bill Gates, and Warren Buffett have, there’s one thing they can’t buy: youth. There are an elite few who want for neither money nor time, youngsters in their 20s and 30s who have already amassed or inherited more money than they could hope to spend in a lifetime.

The youngest billionaire in the world is 27-year-old Dustin Moskovitz, Facebook’s third employee. Moskovitz was a roommate of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who happens to be only 8 days older. The duo dropped out of Harvard and moved to Silicon Valley together to launch the fledgling social network. Now a world-wide phenomenon, Facebook is set to IPO in 2012, which could further boost the fortunes of the two youngest billionaires.

Apple revealed the device Wednesday at an event in San Francisco. Read More
