Of course, the story doesn't end there; on the contrary, Cameron launched two Internet-based companies selling ads face. The second one grew so fast and after serving 2,000 customers and 15 million ads per day, the business translated into $15,000 of daily revenue. Cameron was 15 then (is this a lucky number or something?) and that’s when he had become the youngest American appointed to the board of a Tokyo-based company.
His next successful project was writing a bestselling book. Before he turned 21, Cameron had already had 12 businesses, and before he graduated from high-school, he had already made his first million! At 19, he bought his first house, and sold it later for about $400,000!

Ashley invested 8 bucks to buy her own domain and started doing what she loved most by offering her free space layouts and tutorials on how to build your own website. Today, about 100,000 to 250,000 people get in touch with her on a regular basis asking help and guidelines on how to build a website.
People have offered to buy her out already, but Ashley refused and said: "Why? It’s a great thing to do when you find something you love!" Ashley used to make about $50,000 to $70,000 a month at 17, and she bought a house for $250,000!
