With gorgeous brown eyes set against a sweet innocent countenance accompanied by an adorable cutesy smile, this is not your average 8year old boy with a penchant for the latest gadgets or crazy about computer games. Harli Jordean is a smart money spinning business boy with an Internet company raking in thousands yearly.
Self titled the "Marble King" the eight year old Londoner has successfully turned his passion for marbles into a profitable business venture. His two year old website http://marbleking.co.uk/ stocks a wide variety of marbles including the £599 Duke of York solitaire tables limited edition.
The boy with an adult idea runs his company with the help of his mother and two older sibblings, after deciding to take his obsession with marbles a step further by embracing the versatility of e-commerce.
With orders trickling in from as far as America, Harli has no time for kiddies play and instead busies himself with sourcing suppliers, stocking, packaging and posting his precious marbles to customers. His 51 year old Mother Tina, only gets involved with balancing the books.
With aspirations to becoming Britain's next Alan Sugar, the fiercely ambitious and career driven Harli has plans to one day own a chain of stores like Hamleys. With an equally strong work ethos, the youngster has been known to get his mother drive down to hand deliver packages if he fears any delay in delivery. Talk about customer satisfaction.
"I love marbles and I love having my own marbles company.I like being the boss, but I like to get others to do some of the work so that if something goes wrong it is not all my fault."
