Meet the 16-year-old tech tycoon with his own apartment in Manhattan, a closet full of Yeezys and a million-dollar app that just launched worldwide


Ben Pasternak is a high school dropout from Sydney, Australia living on his own in New York.

The teen raised just under $2million for his app Flogg, which launched on Thursday.

As a result of his success, Ben has got to meet people such as rapper Drake, left. Combining the features of Tinder and eBay, the app allows teens to sell and buy items from people in their social network with the ease of a swipe.


Ben first got on Silicon Valley's radar after he designed a game that was downloaded more than 1.3million times when he was only 15. Ben now says that some of his current difficulties in life include remembering to pay his bills and wash his dishes and clothes.

In typical teen fashion, he claims the biggest decision he has to make each day is what to put on his feet, according to a message sent to his 20,000 Instagram followers, inset.
