Once in a while, we get to hear of a surprising case of a child becoming a millionaire and out-earning most before being able to legally vote. Before you get to the rest of this story, you might want to have a second look at your bank account (or not, maybe).
One such case is of the creater of Pixie's Fidgets, Pixie Curtis.
So let's start the list with her.
