Anyone know of Self-Made Teenage "Tycoons"?
I was recently contacted by a producer who is looking to cast for a new reality show. They are looking for Teenage Millionaires (or close to).
The ideal candidate would be 19 years of age or younger and have the characteristics of a dynamic, brash and of course entrepreneurial who is familiar with taking risks.
If any of you know of anyone who may fit this description, please email me to emailbizguy@hotmail.com as I am trying to assist this very well known production company with the appropriate candidates.
Much appreciated,
Adam T.

They will never find enough teenage millionaires for a show. I would say only a handful of teens from the US population have become millionaires, or even based on a company they've started. Out of that number, they probably wouldn't want to be on the show anyways. The apprentice gets 500,000 applications for their show, which is maybe 0.5%(not really sure on that) of the white collar industry.
I think you should ask for teen entrepreneurs and start from there, because I think that's also a small number.

I'm workin on it... let me get through school without any debt first.
Although I dont think I would qualify as 'brash' anyways.

I would be interested in being in the reality show, but i'm nota a millionaire.
Is this going to be like The Apprentice Jr. edition? That'd be cool.

They are just looking for 2 'teenage millionaires' for a very innovative reality show.
Thanks for the responses. Let me know if there are any others.
Thanks,

Oh coo, then there you go.  For the one i metnioned...I think his name is Farrah Gray, black male from poverty background, great story. I bought his book called Reallionaire. havn't read it yet though. only 2 teen millionaires would't be too bad i guess, might have problems trying to convince them to be on the show though.

While im not nearly even a thousandaire, i dont think that should matter. As long as the tycoon loves what they do and are passionate about it, that would be very ideal. I would do it. Easy.
