Forbes has released their 30 Under 30 list for 2026. The list is composed of successful artists and entrepreneurs under the age of 30. The list includes the viral music artist Alex Warren and a recent Marvel star Joe Locke. Locke gained fame from his role as Charlie Spring in Netflix’s Heartstopper. Later, he played Teen in Agatha All Along. His role turned out to be somebody central to the MCU, but wasn’t revealed until the sixth episode. According to Forbes, Locke has over 8 million social media followers and advocates for LGBTQ+ communities. He succeeded in repealing a law on the Isle of Man that banned gay men from donating blood.

The 30 Under 30 list goes back to 2012 with increasingly difficult competition through the years. The judges of the list look for "imagination, intelligence, and plenty of grit.” Those judges for this year were pop star Olivia Rodrigo, actress Yara Shahidi, a billionaire and entrepreneur Palmer Luckey, basketball player Kyle Kuzma, and Mary Habib, the founder of AI50. Forbes directed their reporters to “harness their investigative reporting, robust sources, and independent experts.” Out of 10,000 candidates, 600 were chosen from across 20 industries in culture and economics.
