    		That would be Albert von Thurn und Taxis of Germany who is only 19 years old! He inherited his family's wealth (1.5 billion) of course.

    		No...the youngest billionaire is Hind Hariri and she will turn 23 several months after the second youngest, Prince Albert Von Thurn und Taxis.

    Who is the youngest multi-billionaire?

    I'm looking for the name of a TV mini series movie/show. We had rented them from the video store. It's about a boy who is traveling to different worlds looking for pieces of a machine to get him back home (I think.) He is gathering something along his way. He travels to different worlds with a "professor" and maybe another person. Along the way he visits 5-8 different worlds (each was a different movie.) They were all entitled "Somebody and the Land of ???" One world had to do with giant eggs, one world a town of toys, and the end was a land something like a fantasy "Camelot." My children watched these movies anywhere from 1988 - 1993. I'm hoping someone can help me end my frazzled search.
