Did you know that a 17-year old made $30 million from an app he created and sold to Yahoo where he now works? Yup, that would be Summly founder Nick D’Aloisio, who – according to those in the know – hasn’t yet spent his money since the acquisition in 2013?

Or how about Dong Nguyen, who developed an incredibly successful mobile gaming app called Flappy Bird – that happened to be, oh, earning $50,000 a day from advertising – but decided to shut the app down?

On the other hand, are you aware that Markus Persson, founder of Minecraft, actually gave away $3 million in dividends last year to his employees?
