Meet the 5 and 8-Year Old Brothers Selling Bowties to Raise Money For Children in Need

Noah and Treandos Thornton, who are only 5 and 8-years old, are already CEOs of their own company called T&N Bow Ties and Apparel. The Thornton family sells their bowties to raise money to buy foods and toys for children in need.“I wanted to help the children out there because I didn’t want to see any of that happen to the children,” Treandos told WSB-TV.

His inspiration for selling bowties is his father, who is a comedian, after seeing him tie bowties before doing shows. He then wanted to inspire other children, too, when he started the company in 2017. He said, “I want children to believe in themselves.”

Moreover, the brothers have been asked by organizations based in different states to speak about being a ‘kid-preneur’ and to demonstrate tying bowties virtually. Their mother, Shana Thornton, is proud of them both, saying, “These are things that the boys try to platform even at their tender age of five and eight years old.”

Meanwhile, UPS has been helping the Thorntons through its ‘Wishes Delivered’ initiative and sent them a truck full of donations. Their courier drivers in Atlanta also wore bowties to celebrate the two young boys.

The Artistic Mind of a Criminal

I used to have a client who is a professor when it comes to art, paintings and antiques. He paints one portrait and makes millions out of it and that really fascinated me so much that I started doing some research into the Art, paintings and antiques industry. I discovered that the painting industry in Ghana is very small and young but elsewhere in the world, it is a huge industry which contributes significantly to the economy of these countries. The USA economy in 2014 and 2015 benefited US$730 billion and US$763.6 billion respectively from the Art, Paintings and Antiques sector(1). US$12 billion (£9.2 billion) was contributed to the UK GDP in 2016 from the Art and Painting sector(2) with Singapore’s Art and Painting contributing S$2.13 billion to the GDP in 2013(3).
