This 15 -year -old millions of cards he invented at the age of seven. He just sold it to a major games company
- I bought PlayMonster Taco VS. Burrito for an unknown amount. The game was invented by a 7 -year -old child, with the help of his parents, directed to more than 1.5 million units sold. “It was never something that I was associated with or anything,” says the creator Alex Pater, despite his success.
Alex Butler was only seven years old when he achieved his first million dollars. A game it invented, called Taco against Borito, making it AmazonBy the end of 2018, it increased sales of about $ 1.1 million.
Now, after overseeing the game’s empire with his parents, he sold the rights of the game PlayMonster,, Which include its other well -known products Spirograph, Farkle and Yeti in Spaghetti. The conditions of the deal have not been announced, but Taco against Borito (sold for $ 20 over Amazon) has sold 1.5 million copies so far. The game also contains the expansion package.
PlayMonster says it will continue to expand the game and will come in a mosque tin later this year.
Bater, who is now 15 years old, says he is not particularly sad to see his creation continues. He says he was not something he wanted to continue to do for the rest of his life.
“It was never something that was attached to it or anything,” He said Seattle Times. “This is not very important for me. I just wanted to get the most money from it.”
Alex’s mother is an entrepreneur, so when her son reached the idea after playing paper games like cat explosion, she encouraged him. The family was walking to the Hangout Café to test the initial model, which would lead to Alex with a new task on the bases.
To cover production costs, the mother launched online donations, which brought $ 25,000. Alex’s parents created a holding company for the game (which was Alex, the owner of the majority), found the manufacturer, and put the game on Amazon. He quickly took off and did not slow down.
Although there were offers in the past, the family said she had never felt right. When they started talking to PlayMonster, things did.
Do not expect another game any time soon from Alex. His interests have turned into music, sports and video games.
