While most teenagers wonder if they'll have enough money to buy cider and baccy at the weekend, one 19-year-old has just become the world's youngest billionaire.

The things I could have done with that money at college.

Alexandra Andresen, a professional dressage competitor from Norway, has amassed a fortune of $1.2billion (£862million) and she's still a teenager.

It'll come as no surprise that Alexandra didn't make her fortune from riding around on a horse all day, she's actually an heiress to an enormous family fortune built on tobacco.

Alongside her sister, Katharina, 20, she debuted on Forbes 2016 World's Billionaires list today in 1,475th place.

Their father, Johan F. Andresen, transferred 80 per cent of his shares in his investment firm, Ferd Holdings, to the sisters.

Despite her riches, Alexandra still seems to be pretty down to earth. Fair play.
