Some people are simply meant to be entrepreneurs. Harli Jordean is certainly one of them - at the tender age of eight.

Believed to be the world's youngest CEO, the tiny tycoon started his own marbles company, Marble King, at primary school, and it soon became an Internet phenomenon.

It all started when older boys nicked his stock of marbles that he trades with his friends at the playground, reported The Sun.

His 51-year-old mum, Tina, tried to help him replace them, but realised that no one on the Internet could help.

The tot then begged her to let him start his own Internet company, and with that, his marble empire was born.

So while most of his pals are playing, he is instead liaising with suppliers, buying stocks and handling orders for Marble King, his thriving, two-year-old business.

The London-based kid told the paper: ""My dream is to have a chain of stores like Hamleys - it will be one of the biggest toy stores in the world but selling all sorts of marbles.

"My friends love that I have my own business. At first some of them didn't believe me - but they do now. They are some of my best customers.

"I love marbles and I love having my own marbles company."

A simple tub of marbles at Marble King goes for 7.99 pounds (S$16.40), while a limited edition Duke of York solitaire tables can set you back 599 pounds. :like: :like: :like:
