Fraser Doherty, from Edinburgh, started making


*jam when he was fourteen. He experimented with
his grandmother’s recipes to produce his own jam.
Initially, he donated the money to his favourite
charity, Greenpeace. His jam became popular and
many people bought it. By the time he was sixteen
there was a large demand for Fraser’s ‘SuperJam’.
A supermarket asked Fraser to sell it in their stores.
Fraser used the money he earned to develop the
business. Soon he was making £1.4 million in sales!
He wrote a jam cookbook and a business guide,
SuperBusiness. Fraser continues to make jam
today – that’s what he loves to do.

* jam = la mermelada

American brother-and-sister team David and


Catherine Cook became millionaires by turning a
yearbook into a popular website in America. A
yearbook is a book that contains pictures and
information about the students at a school for a
particular year. When the Cooks moved to a new
school they looked at the school yearbook to find
out if there was anyone they knew. That’s when
they got the idea – why not put it online so everyone
could see it? Their older brother Geoff was
impressed. He decided to help by giving them the
money they needed to start their company. Their
website, myyearbook.com, made it easy for anyone
to connect with their friends. It didn’t take long for
their business to become a success – it is now
worth close to $100,000 million. With the success of
Facebook, they changed their message to focus on
making new friends rather than connecting with
friends you know. Their website name is now
meetme.com.
