From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

As a three-time junior dressage riding champion, it's probably safe to say that Alexandra Andresen's preferred mode of transportation is a horse. But as the world's youngest billionaire — she's worth $1.17 billion — she has many more options available to her, from zip lines to luxury air travel.

Here's what it's like to travel the world as a 20-year-old billionaire.

Alexandra Andresen is worth $1.17 billion.

Her family is known in Norway for Tiedemanns, a tobacco brand, as well as Ferd, an investment company that she now owns 42% of.

Her fortune allows for frequent travel.

As a dressage rider, most of her Instagram posts feature horses.

Other animals occasionally make an appearance through her trips around the world, like on this visit to Africa.

She's gone zip lining from the Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, India.

And snorkeling in Greece.

Sometimes her travels take her to remote locations, like the continental rift between the Eurasian and American plate near Iceland.

Other times, she stays local by taking the Fjordline ferry from Norway to Denmark.

Her boyfriend, Joachim Tollefsen, occasionally tags along.

Traveling with an unlimited budget definitely has its perks.
