How much did you make when you were 16?

Pretty much what I would have said. X|

If you need a hammer get C and shut up. If you need a nail gun get C++ and shut up. If you don't need *those* things (and good design should tell you) then by all means get a factory, factory, factory. --code-frog Why would you need to date, when C++ is your soul mate?! --Steve Echols
At 16 I was making great money - $1.75/hour! At that time, gasoline was $0.27/gal, my insurance was $80/year, and life was good! At 55, my standard of living has dropped considerably... :sigh:

I'm close: I rise early. I work hard. I use oil. Maybe that's why I can't retire yet...

If you ask Justin Bieber, he'll say a few million dollars I guess. :rolleyes:

At 16, I bagged groceries for $1.25/hr and worked a second job at a machine shop at $1.50/hr. Beer was only 25¢ and a game of snooker only cost 50¢, so I was pretty happy when I wasn't working. :)

Shirley Temple had made $3Million by 10 years of age, and that was back when $3Million was a lot of money!

He bought his mom a house, yet I heard that she puts him on an allowance of $50 a day. Still seems overprivledged to me.
Yeah, I need to update this. Darn Judge Judy reruns! http://CraptasticNation.blogspot.com/[^]

There's just a little misconception here: He didn't work ten thousand times harder and more determined and more driven than the guy who made $100.

Sorry to be a wet blanket but was that sales or profit? There's a big difference. (A business success none the less)

Eeesh. When I was 16 I was a high school dropout, working in restaurants. Hitchhiked all over the country, lived in Denver for 6 months or so... eventually made my way back to Vermont, completed high school, went to college... and sure as hell wasn't making a million a year. :laugh:

Trying to think what my wages were then (8 years ago), just worked in the local pub/restaurant. Was a nice enough place and got me the cash I needed 'til I finished uni. It was always somewhere in the region of £5 an hour. But yeah... jealous :/

Unfortunately, I blew it all on drugs, gambling, and hookers. Just kidding of course. We all know rich teenagers wisely invest.

None! I was studying then. In India, we don't have this culture of working at early age.

I didn't get my first computer until high school, so I suppose there wasn't much hope for me to go down that path. By 16, let me see... I *might* have been making $5/week allowance at that point.
