But hard-working Owens can stop for at least a moments celebration after making his first ￡1 million at the age of 16. Owens, who has used a computer since the age of seven, began teaching himself basic web design at the age of ten when he was given his first Mac computer. He used his pocket money to fund his first business project, website Mac Box Bundle at just 14 which has made ￡700,000 since its establishment in 2008. Mac Box Bundle sells a combination of popular Mac applications which are worth up to $400 together for under just $100 and donates 10 percent of the money to charities. He then established an advertising company Branchr a year later and worked on the business after school and at weekends. Branchr made a surprising ￡500,000 in its first year. Branchr works as a platform for website owners to sell advertising. Owens, from Northampton, currently employs eight staff---all adults---around the UK and America as sales and technical assistants.
