[VIDEO] The Ten-Year-Old Kid Who Launched His Own Company!

2^min

At the age of 5, Cory Nieves launched a cookie business to help buy his mom a car because he was tired of taking the bus to school in the freezing cold.

The pint-size New Jersey entrepreneur has since become the CEO of his very own incorporated baking company that has been churning out thousands of cookies each week!

The fifth-grader, now 10-year-old, is now selling 1,000 baked treats per weekend to buy designer clothes and save up money to attend Princeton.

Cory's incredible rags-to-riches story, along with his impeccable fashion sense and winning personality, have earned him a broad following online and turned him into a media sensation.

The young CEO explained that the idea for Mr Cory's Cookies grew out of a humble stand he had set up outside his home in 2009 selling hot cocoa to earn money towards a car for his mother.

He stated that he started out working off cookie recipes he had found online, but he eventually developed his own unique formula, in which 75 percent of the ingredients are organic and without preservatives.

In 2012, Nieves and his mother incorporated their company and moved their business out of their home and into a commercial kitchen. But Cory Nieves has bigger plans for the future.

During a recent appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, the young CEO revealed that he wants to attend Princeton University when he graduates from high school.
