17-year-old makes $72 million playing the stock market | KFOR.com
NEW YORK CITY, New York (PIX11) – Most high school students save up money by working at a store or fast food restaurant.
However, one 17-year-old from New York has made a cool $72 million on Wall Street, according to PIX11.
New York Magazine reports that during his lunch breaks Mohammed Islam would play the stock market.
First, the Manhattan teen started trading penny stocks.
Eventually made his millions with crude oil and gold.
Mohammed says he wants to buy an apartment in Manhattan and a BMW, but his parents say not so fast.
They won’t let him do all that until he turns 18 and get his driver’s license.
The teen also wants to start a hedge fund after he graduates high school, and then make at least $1 billion by the time he’s a college graduate.
