Another list of sicko entrepreneurs - this time, the top 30 entrereneurs under the age of 30. Here is the top 3 of the list:Sicko #1. Ben Kaufman "The innovator" - Innovate lines of iPod accessories, as well as allowing customers to design them. 2006 sales: USD 1 million. *gasp* *choked* And, oh, he is just 20 years-old. *retch*
Sicko #2. Sean Belnick "The Chair Man of the Board" - At 14, he took USD 500 an start selling office chairs online. Today, at 20, he runs a USD 24 million furniture biz (bizChairs.com) whose customers include Microsoft, Google, and the Pentagon. *aargh* *blabber* *hic*
Sicko #3. Bo Menkiti "The Home Maker" - In my opinion, the most noble of all. He develops homes for teachers, firefighters, and other first-time buyers in the neglected middle market of Corporate America. Age: 30. 2006 sales: USD 640 million. *cough* *wheeze*
My favourite? the sicko #2, 20 y.o. Sean Belnick. I mean, selling chairs to the Pentagon? This guy must be the MIB of biz chairs world! Congrats to you, Sean! You really makes me re-think about opening an online biz here in Indonesia. With Indonesia's very low Internet penetration, should I have a Rp. 100 million (around USD 10.000) online biz would make me as good as you, Sean! (is it possible? hmm...)
