Most teenagers probably think they would only start making money well into their twenties after getting a college degree and landing a job.

For 15-year-old Moziah "Mo" Bridges, however, the future is now. In fact, it began in his preteens when he started making bow ties by hand and selling them at school.

With help from his mother and grandmother, he started his company, Mo's Bows, when he was nine years old. He attracted the first major investor when he was 12. Now, he has bagged his biggest deal yet.
