[VIDEO] Meet The 11-Year-Old CEO, Who's Richer Than Her Dad!

2^min

An 11-year-old girl with an impeccable sales pitch has been running her own company for six years.

Michigan native Asia Newson, the co-founder and CEO of a candle company called Super Business Girl, has become so successful that she is now known as 'Detroit's youngest entrepreneur'.

Asia makes the candles at home, with help from her parents, and sells them on the street, using the proceeds from her sales to pay for her own school supplies as well as clothing and food that she donates to needy children.

Asia even caught the attention of Dave Anderson, co-owner of Bamboo Detroit, a local incubator for startups.

Bamboo Detroit has given Asia free space and Internet support to develop Super Business Girl and accomplish her dream of training other children in entrepreneurship.

On her website, Asia says her company's mission is to 'recognize the potential in every child and to develop fundamental security that makes best use of their individualized talent'.

"My dad was a salesman. He used to go out selling these candles and I used to go with him because there was no one to watch me,” she said.

"He used to say this complicated presentation, but somehow I just caught on. So one day I just interrupted his presentation and I said it, and as a matter of fact, I was making more money than him," Asia noted.
