A high-school student has made a whopping 72 million dollars trading stocks on his lunch break.
Mohammed Islam from Stuyvesant High School in Queens has bought himself a BMW and even rented a Manhattan apartment from his, earnings, the New York Post reported.
The 17-year-old said that money makes the world go around, and if it's not flowing, if businesses don't keep going, there's no innovation, no products, no investments, no growth, no jobs.
Islam and a pair of other young buddies, who eat regularly at hot spot Morimoto, where they enjoy 400 dollars caviar and fresh-squeezed apple juice, hope to start a hedge fund in June, after Islam turns 18 and can get his broker-dealer license.
