  • Awesome! This is giving me courage in my drive to become a self-made millionaire!

  • @Pholus succeeding to this extent is not the point. using a little ingenuity and doing what you`re good at is the point. Succeeding like this is just a newsworthy bonus. Be positive and work your asses off!!

  • All She has left to do is join the Nationalist movement and then She will have it made.

  • wonder how she's doing today now that myspace is dead and nobody go's on it.... probably should of finished highschool...

  • @jew1772 You should "HAVE" too ;)

  • @jew1772 youtube also has these backgrounds. THere is always a market if you are the best in your field.

  • @jew1772 What for? She probably transitioned into designing advertisements aimed at the teen market. I'm sure she could get into any college in America with a GED after proving how creative and successful she can become just on her own.

  • @TheFlanker35 The house? Real estate is a great buy, it's a buyer's market now anyway. The only place to go is up! If I had enough money for a down payment on a loft or condo, I'd be all in, haha.

  • @goldencrownz

    It's true,I made a lot of money from selling junk on Amazon and Ebay and made about $470 by the end of the summer

  • I actually asked my cousin to start something like this with me in 2004 he didn't agree

  • @utprizzo then make it happen for yourself, its still not too late...join me on my facebook page Motivated Beauty~ Virtual Teen Magazine

  • @goldencrownz THNX it actualy works

  • Comment removed

  • @pmgodfrey Roughly around 9,000 a month, times that by 12 and get 108. So around 108K a year. Yes, alot of money.

  • @EditVideoEasily She said she is making 7 figures a year so that is 7 digits which is at least. 1 , 000, 000 a year.

  • Ahh! Whoopie Goldberg! )))

  • queen why do you have to hate? You make a good point, but then all the hate.The girl has it going on. She has a good head on her shoulders. She can go back to school later.

  • @philmee3 why would she ver need school...! she already has nough momey to not give a fuck about ever working.. didnt u hear? 7 figures a year thats a absolute minimum of £1,000,000! see the 7 figs thats 1mill thats more in a year then the average workign person will earn in a life time...

  • No, she is very intelligent actually..she may have left traditional high school, but she attends henry ford community college in her state for both college credit and for her ged. By time she graduates she would've earned both.

  • very smart girl.. until i heard she dropped out. and momma looks like an alcoholic. =/

  • She became a millionaire at age 17, she started at age 14. A very impressive young person, I'd say.

  • Comment removed

  • Look at some of the richest people, they're dropouts. If a person drops out of school to pursue a much more profitable career, what's wrong with that?

  • always need a backup. the founder of wendys got his GED long after his success. its also a matter of respect. No one even needs backgrounds anymore hardly anyone uses myspace so there is no gaurantee it will maintain its success unless she knows how to invest

  • Come on, a million US is more than enough to live your entire life, die and then feed your children as well. You know as well as I do, that most people never make that kind of money for their entire lives, not even if they went to college. But they live, don't they?

  • are you really defending not getting a high school diploma? College is not necessary but shit.. AT LEAST graduate high school. A million US is worth nothing now my friend. happy new year

  • I'm not defending being a delinquent. She dropped out for a very good reason and her family's life is better because of her decision to stay home and work. As for your claim that a million US is "nothing"? Are you serious? Then I'm assuming that you've earned at least that amount so far, seeing as it's "nothing". It must be damn easy to make, huh? I guess that's why not many people are millionaires? What you're saying makes little sense. Most people do not earn that for their whole lifetime.

  • @queenzlink247 if she needs to invest ever she surly will know that raw materials is the best thing, take the company i work for an prety much every over high profit company, they dont keep money as such in the bank, they invest it into raw materials such as gold ore and silver etc, or even exchange it for a diferent curency as curency rates and the price of gold and silver can change over nigth they can make mills whilst there asleep :) im trying to make myself a mllionaire so far i have £6000

  • assets

  • I will laugh so hard when her site goes out of demand in less than thirty years. Backgrounds for social networking websites are only so popular for so long. I hope she has enough savings to last a lifetime, literally.

  • how can this be a business how does she earn money from doing backgrounds for web sites?

  • Good for her! I'm wasting my time going for a degree because society expects it of me.

  • Simple. Do what you like.

  • ye ur right but ah idk

  • i really h8 life now

  • Why?

  • cause im a bum compared2her

  • wow thats amzing 17 ? wow

  • it helps :)

  • DONT SAY THAT i hate it when ppl say that that cant be true i know its not EVERYBODYS got a talent its just a matter of finding it.

  • damn dude thats awesome can you direct my broke ass as how to do something like this my whole family is out of work and strugling to pay the bills. 17 and dropped out...me wish I could say I was a millionaire and hey I had a legitimate reason for dropping out to.

  • It's simple. Just do what you like and the money will follow.

    Look at these examples: Ashley Qualls (whateverlfie)

    Lil Wayne (music)

    Lebron James (sports)

    They are three completely different categories, what makes these people so successful? They do what they love.

  • true n wen i was a kid i use2 love wayne

  • being an auto mechanic will never net you money like a sports star,rapper,doctor or lawyer doing something I love will not net me money to make me wealthy or even upper class.

    by the way lil wayne is garbage he used to be good when he was young and with the Hot boys but now hes soft

  • not true, look at chip foose and jesse james just to name a couple

  • they're not just auto mechanics dude they're artists and jesse james had a T.V. show for a while.

    I'm talking about being a flat out grease monkey

    kinda curious as to why you replied to something a month old though

  • @baller14v what if you like to masuturbate furiously then take a nap, wake up, eat and do it all over again?

  • @kmax9480 Then you end up here on Youtube, watching other people who succeded in life and drool with envy, while living your miserable and failed thing what you call "your life"... That sums it about all.

  • @Junije1 super cool story bro! but next time don't speak unless spoken to.

  • @baller14v Or like me, I always liked smoking weed, and recently I started growing my own, and selling it to people I know, and I already made some decent money to cover all my living costs.

  • @baller14v There are 7 billion people in the world. There will be 10 billion by 2050. Not everybody can become a millionaire, there is only so much to go around.

  • @baller14v, newsflash for you: not everyone can do what they love for a living or even if they can, succeed in it to this extent. It takes LUCK, being at the right place at the right time, and usually meeting the right people. It's a scary idea for teens who have bought the Hollywood-story where you can make it if you, like, totally want so. But in reality you can't control your life to that extent, only do your best - and maybe with a little luck you'll make it. Most, even talented ones, won't.

  • @Pholus thats pretty negative remember wether u think u can or cant your right

  • @Pholus I always had this theory that unless you are very successful and rich. And are very aware how you accomplished so; then you may step up and influence your opinion on how to get successful. But if you're worth millions of dollars.. well... than that would make this great advice.. but if not..hmm..

  • @Pholus luck?? haha very rarely. it takes HARD WORK and BUSTING YOUR ASS EVERYDAY not looking at people and saying "they got lucky"

  • @hytinendc18 I never said that luck alone often gets you very far (exceptions do exist of course), the point was that there are bunch of people who WORK HARD every single day but never reach the level of success some others do. Yes, it takes LUCK. Some professions are more sensitive to this than others (actors vs. doctors). There's more to making it than just motivation and hard work, though those two are essential.

  • @Pholus Clearly you're the loser who has every excuse in the book for why you won't ever succeed. But that's ok, it's people like you who leave the opportunities open for people like us to be successful.

  • @Pholus Luck is rarely the reason for success. For most successful people planning is everything followed by hard work and discipline. They pounce on the resulting opportunity immediately and make hay like the world is about to freeze over.

  • @baller14v i love having sex and sleeping....

  • Lil Wayne? He is a man-bitch who does what makes him money not what he loves.

  • I'm an old man who doesn't have anything in common with this young lady but I take off my hat to her achievements. You go girl!

  • Jealous much?

  • Ahahahah LOL at this part "Computers aren't for fat people who are lazy..." ?????? ROFL

  • cool beanz

  • Their is alot of millionaire that have never finished school.

  • I'm going to say about 85% of Billionaires dropped out.

    From what I've seen anyway... Even Bill Gates.

  • thats because theres a lot of drop out in this world

  • No, 85% of billionaires didn't drop out. In fact if you go to the Forbe's billionaire list, you'll see that quite of a bit of them went to Harvard Business School ,or got some other pretigious degrees.

    Bill Gates did drop out, but he dropped out from Harvard and scored 1590 out of 1600 on SAT to get into Harvard. I don't think a person who doesn't even have enough book smart to finish a degree is necessarily more likely to be a wealthy entrepeneur.

  • That was an estimate like I stated. Obviously nobody knows the real figure. I never said anything about being smart either, of course you need to be smart. You just don't need to go to school to be rich, there is absolutely no point. School is for people who want to have a boss. Let's list out some billionaires who dropped out: Bill Gates Steve Jobs Michael Dell Richard Branson Mark Zuckerberg [Founded Facebook] Sergey Brin & Larry Page [Founded Google] THE LIST GOES JUST GOES ON FOREVER!
  • "School is for people who want to have a boss."

    That's absolutely wrong. You obviously haven't seen the Forbes billionaire list.

    Warren Buffett: enrolled in Wharton Business School, transfered to University of Nebraska to finish his degree.

    Donald Trump: Degree in Wharton.

    John Paulson: Degree in Harvard Business School with highest graduating honor.

    Carlos Slim Helu: Engineering degree in National Autonomous University of Mexico.

    The list goes on too. No need for capital letters.

  • Yes exactly my point, they could have all done it without going to college.

  • And yes we know the real , exact percentage of billionaires who dropped out VS who finished a degree. Forbes compiles and updates the list of billionaires every year. The vast majority of them finished their formal education before starting a business.

    So no, you're wrong. Stop trying.

  • WRONG.

    Forbes doesn't know of every billionaire, that's why you can't calculate the percentage.

    So why don't you stop trying.

  • For someone to be recognized as a billioanire, they need to have a recognizably large comapny and their share in it must be verified by Forbes. A large company inevitably has to advertise itself so it will be known and its largest share holder's wealth will be investigated by Forbes. Therefore since large companies can't be hidden, their owners will be known.

    The only time Forbes doesn't "know" a billionaire is if such a person refuses to have his wealth checked.

  • WRONG AGAIN.

    For somebody to be a billionaire, all they need is to have a net worth/assets in excess of one billion.

    And you also proved yourself wrong by saying "The only time Forbes doesn't "know" a billionaire is if such a person refuses to have his wealth checked."

    Therefore there are probably many people Forbes do not know about.

  • How can you have assets in excess of one billion without a company?

  • Can you name me a person whose billion dollar asset does not come from part/total ownership of a company?

  • Joaquín Guzmán.

    Learn your facts.

  • He has his own criminal enterprise. How  isn't that a company? It's an illegal company organized to deliver drugs.

  • You have a misunderstanding of the definition of "company" as you used it.

  • An organization that exports cloth is a company but an organization that exports drugs is not a company? How so? It is still a business association.

  • If you think i'm suggesting that school is a necessity for wealth, then you read me wrong. I am arguing against this statement only "School is for people who want to have a boss".

    It is not right because most of the world's billionaires did finish a college degree.

  • I'm not suggesting that whatsoever, you must have read me wrong.

    And once again, back to square one, you can't prove how many finished college or not.

  • You said word for word, "School is for people who want to have a boss". I just copied and pasted that from your previous post, and I don't think that's right.

    Of course not every single billionaire is listed on Forbes. However for the ones undiscovered, there is no reason to assume their degree of education is particularly higher or lower than the ones we know.

    And out of the ones we do know, most of them finished college.

  • Exactly so we have no idea if the majority finished school or not.

    Also, you didn't say "the ones we do know", you just said all billionaires.

  • We do. You didn't read my comments properly.

    I said even if there were unknown ones, what evidence do you have to assume that more of them didn't finish college?

  • You just proved yourself wrong.

    What evidence do you have to assume that more of them DID finish college?

  • None, therefoer we can't make any assumptions from "unknown billionaires".

    Our conclusions therefore can only logically be drawn from the ones we know.

  • WRONG.

    Those are not "conclusions", those are just assumptions.

    There is just as much chance that more of them did not finish school than those who did, so your argument in invalid.

  • Please don't speak like a three years old. You don't need to put "WRONG" in capital everytime you type.

    No, we make no assumptions about unknown billioanires. We take conclusion from known billionaires. Until many more billionaires without degrees emerge, it holds true that most billionaires finished their degrees.

  • "Please don't speak like a three years old."

    That should be "Please don't speak like a three year old."

    So it seems you are more of a three year old since you cannot even write basic English.

    And once again, nothing along those lines is true until every billionaire is accounted for and only then can we make a conclusion.

    That's like saying every cat in the world is black just because both of your cats are.

  • There's no point cherry picking on grammar. Nobody starts a sentence with "And" either. It's just rather immature to type "WRONG" everytime.

    Now you're getting rediculous. We know there are white cats. We don't know how many unknown billionaires are there, if there are any at all.

  • "We know there are white cats. We don't know how many unknown billionaires are there".

    Yes but we don't know how many white cats there are.

    Exactly my point.

    It's just like saying because you've got more white cats that the majority of cats in the world are white.

  • Your counter arguement was that "every cat in the world is black because both of my cats are".

    So it doesn't matter how many white cats are there. There could just be one, and that overthrows the statement.
