What does 30 over 30 mean?
Aren't the accomplishments of a 70-year-old entrepreneur every bit as meaningful, every bit as newsworthy, as the accomplishments of a 30-year-old entrepreneur? Of course they are. That's why I'd like to make the phrase "70 over 70" just as -- just as commonplace as the phrase "30 under 30."

What does 30 under 30 mean? And what does 70 over 70 mean? Thank you.

Answer

30 under 30: Looks like Forbes publishes a list of 30 people under 30 years of age who exhibit excellence in their field.
For example, here is a list for "30 under 30" in art and style: https://www.forbes.com/30-under-30/2018/art-style/#5bf90c3234c6.

The author is suggesting that there are people over 30 years old who also have a lot to offer the world, and that if there were a list of 70 people under 70 a lot of other people excellent in their fields / entrpreneurs etc. would get the attention they deserve.
