“Meet the Teen Titans: How These Young Millionaires Cracked the Code to Wealth Before 20!”
Maddie Bradshaw
She was featured on the TV show Shark Tank with her mom and her younger sister and struck gold. She started her company by designing locker decorations using soda bottle tops because she couldn’t find anything like it in the market.
She lured an astonishing three sharks on the show and was able to secure a lot of funding. She made $1.6 million in sales in her first year for her locker decoration product.
David And Catherine Cook
You know how you were probably fighting with you siblings everyday as a kid and doing nothing productive? Well, the same can’t be said about David and Catherine Cook. They teamed up and got rich by starting MyYearbook.com.
It remains a player in the social media realm and the site is worth around $100 million. Not too shabby considering the two started the website on a mere idea, and nothing else.
Nick D’Aloisio
Imagine being a 17-year-old who started an app that is worth $30 million? You can’t? Well, one of the people who can actually relate to this is Nick D’Aloisio, who designed an app that tailors your news to your preferences.
He started coding at age 12. Yes, 12. When asked what makes HIM special, he says that his most prized ability isn’t coding, or app designing, it’s finding market disparities and exploiting them for his gain.
