Forbes 30 Under 30 2024: Jenna Ortega and Cailee Spaeny among the celebrities in Forbes’ celebrated list

Forbes has released their annual “30 Under 30 “ list overnight, giving their opinion on the hottest young talent across the fields of art, entertainment, business and technology. The honorees are selected through a rigorous nomination and vetting process. Forbes considers factors such as impact, innovation, leadership, and potential for future success in determining the individuals who make the final cut. 

Being included in the Forbes 30 Under 30 list is considered a prestigious acknowledgement of the accomplishments and influence of the featured individuals, and it often serves as a platform to highlight young talent and emerging leaders - usually with eerily accurate results. 

This year’s “Celebrities” category features a few names that regular Nationalworld readers will be familiar with: Jenna Ortega, known for her roles as Wednesday Addams in the Netflix series of the same name has been included in their list, as has Cailee Spaeny who audiences will get to see portray Priscilla Presley in the forthcoming Sofia Coppola directed biopic “Priscilla.” For her performance, Spaeny earned the Volpi Cup for Best Actress at this year’s Venice Film Festival.

Latin music sensation Peso Pluma and “The White Lotus” season two MVP Haley Lu Richardson have also been earmarked by Forbes as ones to watch heading into the new year, while Boygenius, the band featuring Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker, are also included as musicians worth keeping an eye on after their celebrated 2023 so far.

Of course, there is always room for one of the Kardashian clan to appear on the list, with no surprise that Kendall Jenner is the name that has appeared on the list this year. Like it or not, Jenner has fostered an empire that Forbes recognises has a lengthy lifespan going forward - what next for Brand Kendall?
