    There seems to be a lot of missing info here. Theres no way a regular sneakerhead kid makes it this far without extreme help.

    Why are ya'll hating? Pretty impressive in my opinion. Even with rich parents, many kids don't even try doing such things, even if they do, they rarely succeed.

    Credit where credit's due, but you failed to mention his wealthy parents who undoubtedly funded his business initially.

    Well basically he wouldn't get this far if it weren't for his parents. This kid is actually born with rich parents. It's like saying Donald Trump worked hard for his small loan of a million dollars. lol
