Kieran O’Neill
Founder of HolyLemon.com, a video-sharing website that focuses on funny videos; and Playfire.com, a social networking site for gamers.
Kieran O’Neill was born in Bermuda and moved to England at the age of 14. At the age of 15, he started a funny video-sharing website, HolyLemon.com, designed in his own bedroom at home. At the age of 19 he sold it for $1.25M. He said his mom was a little shocked at the worth of the website. When he was 20 years old (2007), he launched Playfire.com, a social website application for game players. In the next year, he raised $1M in funding for his new company. In August 2011, Playfire had $3.1M in backing and 345,000 active users. What surprised me:
Kieran O’Neill created his first company when he was only 15 years old and sold it for $1.25 million. He did not stop after that, and he built another company at age 20.
