Teen Kid Develops Ultra-Popular Phone App, Plans To Buy 2 Ferraris!

2^min

A whiz-kid who has come up with one of the world's most popular apps while 'bored at school', is now weighing up investment offers that amount to half a million dollars for his next big idea.

15-year-old Ben Pasternak had that bit of inspiration during last year’s science class and is now in line for a much sought after internship just like Google and Facebook.

“Nonetheless, finding a seat alongside the tech-heads in Silicon Valley is just the tip of the iceberg,” Ben revealed to Daily Mail Australia on Wednesday.

He has also had talks with venture capitalists in San Francisco who are willing to bankroll his new venture to the tune of 'well, if I got to keep the money I could buy two new Ferraris'.

When asked about what his latest brainwave might be, the Aussie teen responded with the classic line 'can't say much but what I can say'.

“Basically I am trying to make instant messaging more personal and in the moment,” he noted, saying “my new year's resolution was to make last year look like a warm-up”.

“Sure I would be interested at interning at Facebook but I don't plan to work for them, I want to start my own. I haven't got much to say on that but I am looking to start my own thing,” the young man added.

Ben has developed the ultra-popular ‘Impossible Rush’- a phone app that is believed to have over 800,000 downloads.
