While some kids are thinking about which fries to eat or which movie to watch, Pixie Curtis, a little girl of only 10 years old, is creating lots and lots of money, but not with a game, but for real.
The native of Sydney, Australia, works at Pixie’s Fidgets with her mother, entrepreneur Roxy Jacenko, and together they are building a huge company that is estimated to allow Pixie to retire when she is just 15 years old.
When children became obsessed with Pop It toys, Pixie had the brilliant idea of creating her own designs with a range of colors other than the conventional ones and her business was born.
Pixi’es Fidgets was a success from the start, as the first toys launched sold out in just 48 hours. In addition, they made their owner earn more than 200 thousand dollars in the first month of operation alone.
During an interview for the magazine StellarJacenko, the daughter’s mother, mentioned how proud she was of her daughter’s entrepreneurial spirit at such a young age.
I never had it, although they instilled in me that I had to succeed. When I was 14 years old, I got a job at McDonalds because that’s what you did in my day. So, I guess for me, the most important thing is a boost as an entrepreneur.
The small business is part of Pixie’s Pix, a range of toys and children’s goods sold online, which Jacenko created for his daughter when she was just a baby. She is the one who supervises product development and marketing, while her daughter is in charge of product testing, that is, she is “quality control”.
Through her Instagram page, the 10-year-old girl promotes her products, of course, always under the administration of her mother. Jacenko believes that the success of her daughter and her company will allow Pixie to obtain what many of us long for: an early retirement.
According to her financial reports, Pixie will be able to retire at the age of 15, but until then she will have to plan what to spend her earnings on and do it wisely, because as they say, money is not forever.
