ReplyDeleteMost of the millionares becames millionares before the age of 20. The digital website one or somthing like that interested me. Why, because I like to edit photos like that online. Umm...my best idea would be, becoming an actor. Otherwise im not that brain smart for that technology.
ReplyDeleteAlso most of them involve websites,as for how they be came famous and they all most all say your never to young to become a millionaire or no matter who you are.
ReplyDeleteWell they all started at a very young age, and started something with very little cost. Also almost all of them related to the interntet or websites. The idea that interested me the most would be the facebook one because I use facebook everyday. My best entrepreneural idea would be inventing and marketing a 3d computer.
ReplyDeleteone of the trends is that most became rich before the age of twenty-five.second alot of them gave advice on how to start your own path; many said that you must start small and be passionate about what you want. third, find people that support you, if someone is a downer about your idea, kick them to the curb the business idea that caught my attention was "myyearbook.com", because there are people from my old high school that i have lost touch with and would like to reconnect with! honestly, i can't think of an entrepeneur idea of the top of my head but if i had one i would not sell it out for a million dollars. i would much rather try to patent my idea, with patenting it i would make much more then what they are offering to me!
ReplyDeleteEach person made their start at a young age starting basically before they were 20 or in early 20's. Most of them are in college or college dropouts, and most money was made by technology related ideas. The greeting card idea was a smart idea for a nine year old, because he made bank off of it during that time period. I'm not quite sure what it would be but it would have to do with social networking, something new that has never been used.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that all of these people started making money at a very young age. All of the people started out small and eventually grew bigger and began to get more money. Another trend that i saw is that most all of them started out online. The CEO of Dell interested me the most because I like computers and its a job that is always going to be around because technology can only get better so the money is always going to be there. I cant think of an idea right now but for a million dollars im sure I would come up with somethin good.
ReplyDeleteMost of the millionaires in the slide show became millionaires before the age of twenty. They also all had an idea and did something about it. Money was not their intention at first, but to create something for world wide use. The Facebook one would probably be my favorite. Facebook has let me keep in contact with the friends and family I have around the world. I'm not quite sure what my idea would be, but if that moment were to happen I'm sure I would desperately think of something.:)
ReplyDeleteAll these people were so young and became so rich off of stuff I've never even heard of besides dell, and facebook. Probably the only idea that actually interested me was the cartoonist. I'm pretty good at drawing 3d art so it would be neat if I could have a 3d chalk drawing business. My friend and I have actually made a profit off of doing our 3d chalk drawings in St. Louis and made quite a bit of money that helped fund out supplies for the next drawing. All the money we made was donation, but it would be neat if we could get paid to draw and still make "tips"
ReplyDeleteI don't have any enterpreneur ideas right now. I notice that they all became millionares before they were 25. Most of them started working on to acheive their goals when they were still teens. They all try to incourage people to try out their ideas and giving them advice. I like the one were you can learn to play piano, drums, and guitar by ear.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that some of the millionares dropped out of college. Almost all of them did something that had use of a computer and one made a computer company. Two of them were millionares before finishing highschool.The Dell computer one unterests me the most because i own a dell computer. I would tell them to make a easier way to make weapons.
ReplyDeleteOne trend is that all make there first million before age 25 and that all of them used technology in some way to help them make that million and all oh them went to pretigious schools. The business idea that interested me the most was the one were the guy had made over a dozen web sites and also made $50,000 selling Beanie Babies all before he graduated high school!This interested me because all of this would take dedication and focus to accomplish these things. If someone came up to me and offered a million dollars for an idea it would be becoming a pro of some sport cuz even tho it might look easy it takes hard work!
ReplyDeleteAlmost everyone was a millionaires before 20 and they didnt beleave it.They had a goal and idea what they wanted to do and they did it.They was not really thing bout the money so much but then they found out what they had going.IDK what kinda of idea i would have but i hope it would be something good.
ReplyDeleteSome things that these people had in common were that most of them started their business when they were young, they studied bussiness at school, and they all had great ideas that people liked and supported. The guy who made his first million before the age of 16 was pretty remarkable. As for my idea, it would be about conserving more energy and fossil fuels.
ReplyDeleteMost of them being related to internet like facebook, myyearbook.com and Bizchair.com really shows how technology effects to shape new ideas. I have a Dell laptop, and a facebook account, and haven't heard about some of the things listed there. I would probably have a technology related idea, something to do with a webpage. Because that seems like the best way to reach people.
ReplyDeletethey all took a risk but payed off at the end. sometimes you have to take risk. it was kind interesting to read that
ReplyDeleteThe thing almost everyone had in common was that they were millionaires before the age of 20. Next thing they had in common was that they all used technology... and went to good schools. The one that interested me the most would be the girl who was into drawing. You don't have to be the best artist... Just creative and make it appealing maybe to a certain age group... That is the kind of idea I would come up with... Because when I was little I would draw little characters almost like hers.... :)
ReplyDeleteits crazy how all these ppl started as kids i mean who could ever imagine.... they all got filthy rich.. they all went to really smart school's... i like the guy with the facebook because thats the new trend today...
ReplyDeleteif i could make one million dollars doing sum that i like to do it would be playing basketball...
