　　For the past two years, 8-year-old Harli Jordean from Stoke Newington, London, has been selling marbles (弹珠) . His successful marble company, Marble King, sells all things marble-related—from affordable tubs of the glass playthings to significantly expensive items like Duke of York solitaire tables-sourced, purchased and processed by the mini-CEO himself.

　　“I like having my own company. I like being the boss, ” Harli told The Mirror.

　　With profits now in the thousands, “the world’s youngest CEO” has had to get his mother and older brothers to help him meet the growing demand. Harli launched Marble King after swapping marbles at school led to schoolchildren consuming his marble collection. Yes, he literally “lost his marbles”. Harli and his mother, Tina, turned to the Internet to find replacements.

　　Harli saw an empty space online: the marbles he wanted were hard to find. Within months, Harli had his own marble-selling website-and orders started pouring in.

　　Tina says her son’s attachment to marbles started when he was just 6.

　　“His attachment became so passionate that we started calling him the Marble King ?so when he wanted to set up a website it was the natural name for it, ”she told The Sun.
