Teen Millionaires: The Kids Running Successful Businesses Who Say You Can Too
There are entrepreneurs of all ages, but what about the teenage ones? It can be easy to dismiss young business owners, but the rise of teen millionaires shows that age is just a number when it comes to determination and ambition.
On an episode of Sunday Night, the spotlight was on these young entrepreneurs who have achieved unheard-of success at a young age. Despite starting out with little experience and support, their businesses have grown into lucrative ventures, and they have valuable advice to share with aspiring entrepreneurs.
One of these teen millionaires is Akshay Ruparelia, the founder of Doorsteps.co.uk, a UK-based online estate agency that has shaken up the traditional estate agent business model. Starting with a £7,000 investment from family and friends, Ruparelia grew the business to have a £12 million valuation within just two years. His advice? Start with a small idea and gradually build upon it. He also stresses the importance of never giving up despite failures or setbacks.
Another teen millionaire is Benjamin Kapelushnik, or “The Sneaker Don,” known for selling rare sneakers to celebrities and collectors around the world. At the age of 15, he turned his passion for sneakers into a business, and now, at 21 years old, he has made millions of dollars. Kapelushnik’s advice for starting a successful business? Find a niche, and build a strong brand around it. He also stresses the importance of marketing and building relationships with customers.
Emily-Rose Wagner, another teen millionaire, is the founder of Milkshake Haircare, a business she started at 16 years old. Despite facing initial skepticism from potential investors due to her age, Wagner was able to secure funding and grow her business into a success. Her advice for other young entrepreneurs? Believe in yourself, and don’t be afraid to ask for help or advice from others.
These teens may seem like outliers, but their stories highlight the fact that age should not be a barrier to entrepreneurship. With dedication, hard work, and a strong business idea, anything is possible. As the saying goes, “you’re never too young to start, and never too old to learn.”
In the words of Benjamin Kapelushnik, “If you have a dream, go chase it, and don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do it.” The next teen millionaire could be just around the corner, and with the right mindset, it could be you.
