Let these people be an inspiration to you. Everyone should always be encouraged to follow their dreams, even at such a young age, because who knows? They could turn out to change the world.

At 18, he sold his app, Summly, to Yahoo for $30 million. His mobile news app called attention to problems with how people receive news on their smartphones.

2. Maddie Bradshaw

Starting as a way to decorate her school locker, Bradshaw turned this into a company called Snap Caps. After showing her idea on Shark Tank, she was able to make $1.6 million in a year at age 16.
