17-Year Old Turns Side Hustle into $410,000 Business

NBC News reports that Bella Lin of San Francisco was 12, she noticed that her pet guinea pigs kept disappearing from her backyard. She was unsatisfied with traditional “prison-barred” cages, so she decided to design and build her own.

The result is the GuineaLoft system. The cages have 2-tiered bottoms to make them easier to clean, as well as transparent plastic walls that snap together to make them easy move and see through.

Lin scrounged up $2,000 of her own money to launch this business and sell her cages on Amazon. Last year, she earned $410,000 from the business.

Lin is reinvesting all of her earnings into the company while applying to colleges and planning on a trip to the factory in China that manufactures her cages. This is only the beginning of her entrepreneurial ventures.
