Young entrepreneur up for an award
A young man from Edison, New Jersey, is in the running for a major award from eBay all thanks to a small business he started in high school. In fact, Prince Patel had to use his parents' eBay account when he first got started because he was too young to have his own. A teenager with an entrepreneurial spirit, he built an electronics business into a full-time job and has pulled in some impressive money. In 2017, from his dorm room in college, while studying civil engineering, Prince did $800,000 in sales, he says.
