When I was 13 or so I started a computer repair company for people in my town and local businesses. I didn't keep very good track of how much I made but I would guess it was around $2k a month. Couldn't beat the money and freedom as a kid.

I was earning 250$ a month as an average programmer. I was working with some Java, Commute was 40miles everyday. Since I wasn't able to afford an apartment.
I had signed contract with them that I won't quit... yeah 24 year old me was an idiot.
