That most definitely helped her get early clients and commercial success, but I think it's still very cool that a young girl was able to plan, build and execute a business idea.

Most 16 year olds are just using their phones to send silly snaps to their friends and watch porn.

Because most 16 year olds dont come from a family with such a wealthy (both in money and opportunities) background.

Still, she's leveraging those opportunities when the alternative is a life of leisure.

And most people waste their lives away in 9-5 jobs. It's not an age thing.
