7. Robert Nay – Age 15
This next guy is into technology, precisely- phone apps. He designed mobile app called Bubble Ball, which today has over 9 million downloads.
In the first two weeks from the release of the app, it had more than one million downloads, outperforming Angry Birds as Apple’s most downloaded free game.
Robert was the one who programmed the game. However, he had no coding experience before undertaking the app-development project.
He spent some time at the local library learning what he needed to know. It was all it took.
Then, he wrote thousands of lines of code necessary for this physics-based puzzle game in just one month.
Now, his company Navy Games has released 24 new levels for Bubble Ball in less than a year.
How much money he made? Approximately ¼ million dollars while he was in the eight grade.
