Kids these days.  

No way that dude is 12

Lying sack of shit

I bet he is eye deep in money and pussy

Yes I'm jealous.

Obviously I'm jealous.  

Pretty suspicious of kid's story researching

ETA: Unlikely google would pay so much for an "app." They might pay that much for some technology, so then why call it an "app?" He talks like someone who wants people to think he is successful, not someone who actually is successful.

£ 8.5M in app fees? Maybe, but that would attract an awful lot of attention.. but why would he then not even mention it when he has a reporter's ear? Whole thing seems fishy.

ETA2: Poked around, nothing solid, but I'm relatively sure this is just some rich guy's kid... having a bit of fun "taking the piss" out of folks on the net

ETA3: Not even his dad mentions what the kid actually made

ETA4: I'm putting my stake in the ground... he's the Eric Snowden of childhood success talks a lot, says very little

ETA5: He's 12, bought his first Ferrari when he was 10, money made from an app created when he was 9? So, his app has basically been on the Google Play store since it opened... but no one knows what it is? OK, complete hoax.

I wonder how long before he gets into drugs with all that money

Sounds like he made the app when he was 8.  He says "......they gave a lot of the money to me.  Then after a year or so, when I was 9, I made $8.5mil.....".

I call bullshit, and yeah, I'm mad and I'm jelly.

Maybe he's decided to impersonate someone from the golden age of video games?

Its a BS story.  Saw that video on another site awhile back.  Then this came out.

Is there no decency among YouTube journalists?

You and me both.

Thanks! I was pretty close in my guesses. Unfortunately for my family, I'll be crowing about it all day. Steer clear.
