I was 22years last year when I made my first millions.. I made up to 4million+ through crypto currency, hyips, and ponzi scheme... I made so much that I don't even think of investing on physical asset, I spent on clothes, bought electronics, keep flexing around with my friends and spending on girls. ...my mother advice me alot to save some in case of incasity, she advised me to even join there corporative group but I ignore...the greatest mistake I made in life is going greedy, I put almost all my fund money in my account to mmm which I planned to do last and even PH 80% of my bitcoin...remain 3days for me to GH then mmm crashed...i cried sotey I wan even commit suicide......i regret for not listening to my mother when she advice not to try it again... I have sold d rest of my btc to fund my education, I'm now in my final year and broke. But now I'm learning handwork and tyre dealer biz (vehicle alignment). And doing bounty campaigns.. Last year was so sweet and bubbling for me but this year is not that sweet I swear.. I pray that favour will locate me and every hustlers before this year runs out.

June 2010, mtn World Cup splash promo.. I was lucky to be among those that won 2million naira....i was only 23yrs old, just graduated from the University and I was about to go for my nysc.

You can make money in all categories in fashion design or any career , if you follow these rules :

Be the best you can be in your field.
Give it your all!
Be Humble, Nice and friendly to Strangers, you meet in offices, banks, and public places. Out of the numerous people u meet, smile, be courteous and nice. That stranger may end up becoming the Link you need to get to your millions. Just be nice. You won't die, if u are abit nice and respectful.
Don't underestimate anybody.
Think out of the box
Believe in yourself and work towards your dream of becoming the best in what u do.
Be ready to improve yourself.
Then Lastly, Pray and Believe.
Steadily you will get there.

That's all it takes.

And that's just the beginning of the flood

I wouldn't mind if we share ideas ir prolly I say exchange knowledge. I'm well adept in Digital marketing with a Millenial website in real estate.

I'm seeing the bigger picture but need like minds to out string

Re: How Old Were You When You Made Your First Million?, And How? by Nobody: 6:18pm On Nov 18, 2018

I never said that I am a Millionaire presently ooo.

Question was how old when I made my first million and that is the answer.

Production of exercise books used to be very lucrative before all these big companies entered the industry with their automated ruling machine.

importation plus I went to Mr A, B , C, D and E got prices of their products. Added a reasonable something on top and started an online store for products I didn't own.

Of course it's not as easy as I wrote, as I had an Abraham that made it easy to access those big men to release items on credit. With profits I got my own products which I'm currently working on trademarking them. The next tv or home theater you buy might have NnamdiN as a brand name.

Wow this is so inspiring

Am in my early 30's, made over 3.5m this year alone after a long time,but currently with less than 500k. I lost 1.8m to a business gone bad,another 1m to a business that has not made profit yet.

I made my first 5m @26 but didn't really invest well though. I have been struggling ever since to break the 1m mark but to no avail. I made it this year though I lost substantial part of it. But am happy that I passed the 1m mark hitting above 3m.

I have gone back to basics to start afresh for a target of 5m by this time next year all by his Grace.See you all at the top.

26.

I got a job. I still struggle to save cash in my account unless there's a pressing need for that. All I do is to keep buying lands in my state capital. Each time I try to build up savings, my sister would call me that some plots of land are available for sale. Resisting this has been my greatest struggle. I have to learn how to balance my financial life. That is making investments as well as keeping savings.

Money is meant to be used not saved. You are doing the right investments buy buying real estate. Long term goals bro... I see u buy a jet soon!!

Still struggling to eat three square meal in a day,someone is here asking how old I was when I first made a million. Still praying to God to pick my call anyway.

I have not made a million naira before. But I made my first 100 thousand naira at age 18, year 2013 after my ss3 waec through hustling of bottle water and lacasera in hold up and bus parks at Oshodi.

But due to some family issue and being the first born of the family, gave my mum and sibling almost all.

And now that I am an undergraduate in a federal university in Nigeria, having 10k in my account self is a miracle. But I believe I will also make my millions and be okay one day. There is time for everyone!

Gbogbo wa la ma make è!

Yes Bro...just no do yahoo oh!
