Soon, Yahoo turned its attention to high level popularity of Ashley's site. The total number of visits to her MySpace wallpaper pages exceeded one million unique users! And most of them belonged to the category of "teenage girls".

mushroom seller

One day, a 15-year-old teenager from the United States, Jan Purkayastha, decided to start importing a delicacy product - truffles. But the young man had to deal with some obstacles. In Arkansas, where Yang lived, imports of delicacies were controlled by local authorities, so he had to do difficult work to ensure that delivery was in accordance with federal laws.

Jan's task was also complicated by the short shelf life of truffles - only 7 days. Then a 15-year-old teenager, who is fond of picking mushrooms, decided to organize his own truffle nursery - the first in the United States. Today, the boy is rightly called a truffle magnate. Its products are bought by the best restaurants in New York, including Michelin-starred ones.

What is behind the success of Tartufi Unlimited? Experts say that the reason lies in Yang's age. Most of his peers think only about music, computer games and clubs. And Jan Purkayastha just sells mushrooms. At a price of $4 thousand per kilogram.

Business on your favorite songs

Microblogs on Tumbrl

Before deciding to create his own project, David changed several places of study, completed several courses, and gained work experience.

In 2006, a young man decided to give up the usual office work and set to work for himself. His project Tumbrl became so famous that the number of unique visits in some months exceeded 13 million users.

Creator of "Red Fox"

This story is from the series “about the great geeks”, which all ambitious programmers and IT specialists look up to. Blake Aaron Ross started programming websites at a young age. He created his first creation when he was 10 years old.

And it was a full-fledged and worthy Internet resource. Then the 15-year-old teenager was invited to Netscape, where he became friends with a work colleague, Dave Hawitt. So, combining study and work, a 19-year-old guy, along with Hewitt, created the second most popular Internet browser - Mozilla Firefox.

Today, Ross does not leave work on his brainchild. But the guy has a lot of other projects. At the same time, the young talent manages to hold the post of director of products at Zuckerberg's company.

Hype Machine

As you may have noticed, almost all the young millionaires of the world mentioned above are residents of the USA or Canada. But in this corner of the Earth, in our country, there are also lucky ones. Who are they - the young millionaires of Russia?

Surprisingly, the successful guy of Russian origin, who was on this list, created his brilliant creation thanks to ... laziness! At the age of 9, Anton Volodkin, together with his parents, changed his place of residence from Moscow to New York. By the age of 17, the young man started working for Brainlink. According to Anton himself, the only opportunity for emotional release for him at that time was music.

But looking for new and interesting tracks was too tedious for the guy, which also took a lot of time. And Anton Volodkin became the creator of Hype Machine - a program that automated the entire process of finding music. The technology found interesting tracks not only in the popular blogs of musicians and the labels themselves - this can be done by many Internet users. The guy was looking for something more original. And he got his way! User interest in the project grew, as they say, by leaps and bounds.

Today the site is visited by more than a million people a month. The recent merger with SoundCloud has opened up new perspectives for Hype Machine and Anton himself.

random chat

Young millionaires of the world sooner or later accepted help from investors or agreed to sell their own idea. An ordinary schoolboy from Moscow, the creator of the sensational project ChatRoulette, refused all these opportunities.

Andrey Ternovsky came up with and launched his website in just three days. His usual computer desk in the Moscow apartment of his parents became his place of work. By the end of 2009, 17-year-old Andrei revealed his creation to the world, and a real hunt began for the project and its creator. The guy was invited to Europe, they tried to organize meetings with him, and a real fight was launched for his website. As a result, Andrei refused even Yuri Milner. At that time, ChatRoulette was valued at $50 million. True, in his subsequent interviews, the guy said that he managed to regret the refusal.

How to catch luck by the tail

Probably, many would like their fate or the fate of their children to develop in a similar way. This is quite natural: well, who does not want well-being and prosperity for themselves or their loved ones? How can you get on the Forbes list? Young millionaires, in their own words, did not at all seek to break the big jackpot: they started by optimizing what worked poorly, or simply doing what they loved. Some were looking for ideas, others realized other people's thoughts. But if the creator and owner of AliBaba and China are to be believed, it's all about ambition. If you are not rich and you are over 35 years old, then you have lived your life in vain ...

Vsevolod Fear

Age 24 years. His company is called Sotomarket. The guy started his business with the importation of products (USB cable) made in China. Moreover, he ordered the initial batch with his pocket money, which he had been saving for a long time. Familiar goods began to snap up. And since he was able to capture the essence of the sale: that such a product was required at that particular time, his business immediately went uphill. And since smartphones have just begun to appear, the cable just went off with a bang.

Gradually, his Sotomarket store expanded the list of goods and now it is a huge online store that sells computers and their components along with accessories. The store has about 700 employees.

BUT annual turnover amounted to about four billion US dollars. This is how Fear V started and continues his business. He uses the rule of a successful sale. He has a stable balance between supply and demand, the goods are not stale.

Then he was still a student, but he realized that this could become the work of his whole life. And what surprised the young man in New York?

He noticed that while the cars are at the traffic lights, young people have time to wipe the windows, and they do it quickly and gracefully only with the help of a cleaning agent and a microfiber cloth, without using a single drop of water.

Upon returning to his homeland, the guy quickly brought his friend up to date, and they jointly purchased a certain amount of cleaning agent and necessary rags. But the guys were upset that the harsh winters in Russia did not allow the idea to be 100 percent realized. This gave impetus to the creation of such cleaning products that would not be afraid of the harsh Russian winters. And young people successfully coped with this task.

As a result, the rating for the new tool not only rose, but literally a year later the company brought the directors a whole million dollars. An organization called "Fast & Shine" has not lost its rating even after a few years. And there is even a franchise for new brand literally 100 settlements CIS.

Each of them, both quickly took off, and did not stay long. Nikolay owes his stable success to a simple conversation.

He heard the idea that there was an urgent need for companies based on the creation of real estate models. It turned out that the number of performers in this area is negligible. And then it just dawned on the guy.

He began to quickly translate ideas into reality and turned out to be absolutely right. Even without a special education, the skilled craftsman was able to quickly implement all his ideas, and this laid the foundation for his business.

Starting with a small office, the young man did not have time to take orders in the first weeks of work, they simply rained down on him. A little time has passed, and he already has a high and stable rating. He is popular and in demand as a professional.
