* ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'': Calvin is occasionally an entrepreneur selling [[http://www.businesspundit.com/calvin-and-hobbes-on-bailouts/ lemonade.]] Sometimes it's not anything even like lemonade: in one strip he sets up a stand selling "A Swift Kick in the Butt," and he complains about business being so much worse than his own estimate of how many people need one.

->'''Cubert:''' Actually, thanks to Dwight's brilliant accounting and my unaccountable brilliance ... our paper route now has over a million customers!
->'''Dwight''': We're finally making more money than you guys! Aren't you impressed now, Pops? Aren'tcha? Aren'tcha?

* The entire [[Magna/KeepYourHandsOffEizouken Eizouken]] counts, as they sell their work and make plenty of profit (even though Asakusa and Mizusaki only care about the animation), but this especially applies to Kanamori, who has been finding ways to make money since she was very young.

These children are great with money and are always looking for ways to make more. They always seem to be coming up with one ZanyScheme after another and will always try to cheat other children, and occasionally adults, from their cash. If they're good at it, they could also be a ChildProdigy or a TeenGenius. In shows with a particularly lax depiction of [[SlidingScaleOfRealisticVersusFantastic realism]], or if the kid's supposed to be ''[[TheAce just that good]]'', these children could even [[GradeSchoolCEO have their own legitimate companies and firms with actual clients who take them seriously]]. See also HighSchoolHustler.

* ''Animation/UpinAndIpin'': Mail is taught by his parents to manage their food stall and shop while studying in kindergarten. The result is a boy who is good at spotting enterprenuership opportunity and always tries to find a way to sell stuff.

* As a general rule, most billionaires became rich in their 20s/30s.

* ''Series/DragonsDen'' occasionally features teenagers. The Dragons are noticeably nicer to them then they are to other entrepreneurs, and always compliment them on being so driven at a young age.

* Potentially possible in ''VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2''. When you get control of Join Avenue, an NPC may ask to open a shop there. Some of the possible entrepeneurs looking to start a business include Youngsters, Lasses or even ''Preschoolers''. So, yeah, that Market where you can buy bulks of otherwise very rare items like Max Revives and PP Up? ''Run by a five year old kid''.
