A teenager was dubbed “dubbed the "teen wolf of Wall St" after he amassed a USD 70.5 million fortune from stock market trading during his lunch breaks in school.
Mohammed Islam, 17, claims that he has banked an "eight figure" sum from his investments and share portfolio.
Islam attends Stuyvesant High School in New York and still lives at home with his parents. Although he cannot drive, he bought himself a top of the range BMW car, and is considering renting an apartment on his own in Manhattan.
In an interview with New York Magazine, Islam said: “What makes the world go round? Money. If money is not flowing, if businesses do not keep going there is no innovation, no products, no investments, no growth, no jobs."
