Forbes executive editor Michael Noer said: "While many on this list are well-known, others like Danielle Fong, a Canadian-born science prodigy who entered a Princeton Ph.D. programme at age 17 before founding alternative energy company Lightsail at 20, are just getting their first taste of the limelight.
"But it is nearly certain that we will all be hearing much more from them in the decades to come."
The only biological child of Hollywood director Woody Allen and Mia Farrow, Ronan Farrow, made the law and policy list.
Other categories included art and design, energy, food and wine, media and technology, which included Peter Cashmore, the founder and CEO of the technology news site Mashable.
Kunal Shah, 29, from finance firm Goldman Sachs was mentioned for becoming the company's youngest managing director in America at the age of 27.
