When I first moved into my college dorm I filled the small rectangular space full of furniture and different housing items, most of my friends were moving furniture into their rooms as well. When Sean Belnick was 14 he wasn’t moving furniture into his dorm not only because he wasn’t going to college at the time but also because he was moving furniture out of his room. As a young teenager he had created a company named bizchair.com, it was a company that supplied furniture of all different types. He started out by putting an initial investment of $500 down to buy some inventory and just like that Sean was literally running his business out of his bedroom! In 2004, he moved into his first warehouse and by 2009, he had more than 702,000 square feet of warehouse space from the initial 40,00 square feet. The company continued to grow and grow and recorded an astounding 58 million dollars net worth in 2010. Today, Sean Belnick is worth 42 million dollars and it all began in his childhood bedroom.
Great find Stephen! It amazes me that a business that was started off of $500 can turn into a 42 million dollar business. Sean Belnick is a great example of how taking a risk can lead to high return.
This just goes to show you that anyone can make money off of anything. He simply had a childhood dream and went through with it. Now he is making millions.
Dang..That’s a heck of a story. He created his company at a young age and came up with a great relative name as well.
