At the age of 22, most people are busy finishing college, finding their first job, or considering a career. But Surya Midha of Indian origin has done at this age what Mark Zuckerberg once did. The only difference is that Surya has made a different record by making this record at a younger age than Zuckerberg.
Surya Midha has joined the world’s youngest self-made billionaires in Forbes’ 2026 Billionaire List. His total wealth is said to be around 2.2 billion dollars i.e. around Rs 18 thousand crores.

The most interesting thing is that he did not get this money from any family business or inheritance, but artifical Intelligence Got it from my company built in the world.
Surya Midha’s story shows the new era of Silicon Valley, where AI is just technology No, rather a new machine worth billions of dollars has been built. Alexander Wong is also an example of this. At the age of 29, he has a net worth of around Rs 30 thousand crores and that became possible only because of AI.
Launch of AI based company Mercor
Surya Midha along with his friends Brendan Foody and Adarsh Hiremath had formed a company named Mercor. This company does not work like a normal hiring agency.
Its entire system runs on AI. If you understand in simple language, Mercor looks for people for companies who can train AI models, do research or do technical work. Big AI labs and tech companies are now looking for similar talent.
After the AI boom, thousands of companies around the world suddenly needed people who understand machine learning, data training and AI systems. Mercor turned this need into a business.

The company itself interviews people with the help of AI, checks their skills and then matches them with the right company. This model grew so fast that within a few years the value of the company reached 10 billion dollars.
According to Forbes, Mercor’s annual earnings also increased very rapidly. While in March 2025 the company was on annual revenue of around $100 million, by September this figure reached $500 million. Very few companies are able to achieve such rapid growth in the AI industry.
This is the reason why investors invested huge money in the company. Big investors like Benchmark, Felicis and General Catalyst bet on Mercor. After this the value of the company started touching the sky and all three friends became billionaires.
Achievement accomplished in one year less than Zuckerberg
Surya Midha’s story is also considered special because he broke Mark Zuckerberg’s record. Zuckerberg became a billionaire at the age of 23, but Surya reached this club at the age of 22. Forbes has called him the Youngest Self-Made Billionaire.
Interestingly, Surya and his co-founders did not come from a traditional corporate background. He was a friend of the debate team and chose the college dropout path. This is now becoming a new trend in Silicon Valley, where young founders are challenging big companies by creating AI startups in a few years.
Today AI is not limited to just ChatGPT or photo editing. The use of AI is increasing rapidly in sectors like hiring, coding, healthcare, finance and education. Riding on this wave, companies like Mercor are making billions of dollars.
