the stupidity to this is that it takes a meme and treats it like facts

yes, numerous 30u30 have committed frauds, and yes this list is a paid list. but it's also full of other people who have been duped by what this list represents. compounding memes at the expense of truth just creates more problems than it solves

it’s not a paid list. Or at least it wasn’t, can’t say with certainty it didn’t change.

Some people on the list likely paid to be on it. They likely didn't pay Forbes the company though and maybe the payment was just invites to parties.

I know several 30u30 people in my country's list and I highly doubt they paid for anything.
