Artin Afsharjavan






At the age of 13, ArtinAfsharjavan had already discovered his entrepreneurial spirit.



He launched his first business venture at the age of 13 with only $100 and a rented vending machine. The revenues from the vending machine led to him becoming a freelance lender. As the interest on those loans began rolling in, he rolled the profits into investments in several startup businesses. As a young teenager, he was providing financial backing to a number of businesses – everything from local retailers to Internet startups.



By his mid-teens, Artin had made so much money that he decided he deserved a break. He sold his stake in several of the companies he had helped build and did something revolutionary: he RETIRED while still in his teens and without ever finishing high school!
