World's Youngest CEO, 8-Year-Old British Boy Harry Jordin
According to British media reports, 8-year-old Harry Jordin from Stoke Newington, London, is arguably the world's youngest "CEO." Two years ago, at just six years old, he founded his own company, "Marble King," which specializes in selling toy marbles to customers all over the world via the internet. While his friends are busy playing computer games, the now 8-year-old Harry spends his days contacting suppliers, purchasing inventory, and processing sales orders.
At 6, He Opened an Online Store; At 8, He Became a "CEO"
The 8-year-old Harry Jordin is a primary school student in Stoke Newington, London, UK, but he may also be the world's youngest "CEO." Since he was six, Jordin has run his own "Marble King" company, which exclusively sells toy marbles online to customers around the globe.
It is reported that Harry started enjoying playing marble games with his friends on the school playground when he was six. However, after losing all his marbles to other classmates, Harry began asking his mother Tina to help him buy more toy marbles online. But despite Tina searching everywhere on the internet, she couldn’t find any stores selling toy marbles. Unexpectedly, the 6-year-old Harry was not discouraged; instead, he told his mother that he wanted to open his own website to sell toy marbles to others. With his mother Tina’s assistance, Harry quickly established his own "Marble King" website, specializing in the sale of various types of toy marbles.
The Little CEO Thrives
What neither Harry nor his mother Tina could have dreamed of was how booming Harry's "Marble King Company" business would become, leading the 6-year-old Harry to personally handle a large volume of online sales every day! Tina, 51, said in an interview with reporters: “Harry has been fascinated by toy marbles since he was six. Even when sleeping, he would place some marbles under his pillow. The last thing he talks about before going to bed is marbles, and the first thing he mentions upon waking up is also marbles, so we gave him the nickname 'Marble King.' Therefore, when he wanted to set up a website specifically for selling marbles, we immediately decided to name it 'Marble King.' Initially, I helped Harry create this website to teach him some life skills and instill in him a sense of responsibility and ambition. I never imagined that the website's business would be so successful — now we have to deal with a large number of online purchase orders almost every other day.”
Annual Profits in Thousands of Pounds
Now, Harry's "Marble King" website has been running for two years. The toy marbles sold on Harry's website come in a wide variety of colors, sizes, and materials, ranging from ordinary "glass marbles" worth a few pounds to limited-edition "Duke of York Marble Chess" priced at £599. Harry's marble business has reached all over the world, even attracting customers from the United States who buy toy marbles from his website. Through his "Marble King" company, Harry earns tens of thousands of pounds in profit each year!
According to his mother Tina, Harry's future dream is to open the largest toy marble store in the UK and then expand it into a global chain. Currently, what concerns him most is producing marbles with his own "Marble King" trademark, so opening a marble chain store is still part of his next plan.
It is reported that the 8-year-old Harry might be the world's youngest "CEO," and he hopes to soon become the UK's youngest "millionaire" through his own hard work.
