This is the youngest billionaire you never heard of... He was a pizza boy who built Gymshark into a $1.3B company with only $500. His strategy was so simple but GENIUS that Nike, Puma and Adidas executives couldn't believe it. Here's the full story: In 2012, 19-year-old Ben Francis delivered pizzas during the day and made gym clothes in his mom’s garage at night. With just £500, he started Gymshark. Instead of chasing celebrity athletes like Nike, Ben sent free clothes to small fitness YouTubers with 50K followers. As they grew to millions of fans, Gymshark became their favorite brand. By 2013, Gymshark made £250K and sold out at its first event. But Ben also faced setbacks, like a website crash on Black Friday. He stayed honest with his customers, and they stayed loyal. Today, Gymshark is worth $1.3 billion. Ben proved you don’t need big money to win—just smart ideas and hard work. Follow me Mr Z for more posts on founder stories.
