Internet entrepreneur Carl Churchill describes himself as "a normal 19-year-old" , except that his Internet technology company is currently making £1 million a year. What’s more, his name is on The Rich List 2020.
The Rich List 2020 is a list of twenty young people who are expected to make a lot of money by 2020. Other names include famous actors and football stars. But at the very top of the list is Carl Churchill. He is expected to make an amazing £100 million by 2020.
Churchill is 19, but he is not famous or particularly "cool". He runs an IT empire. The main thing it does is to help big businesses connect to the Internet, check emails for viruses and block spam, all at very high speeds.
But success does not come easily. It involves long working days, doing business from 9 a. m. to 7 p. m. , and sometimes making difficult decisions. He then spends two or three hours at night dealing with his programmers. And, finally, a few hours’ sleep at the house he owns in Milton Keynes. He says, "On one occasion I worked three days without stopping—no sleep. " He smiles at the memory.
Is he happy with the progress the company has made? "We’ve made some mistakes but it’s all going pretty well now. I hope the business will be able to grow steadily over the next few years. "
How does he feel about all the money he’s making? "Well, I don’t go out a lot like some of my friends, but it does mean I can do things that I couldn’t do a few years ago. I’ve just bought a new car but that’s about it really. I think it’s important to save for the future. You never know what will happen. "
