A 9-Year-Old Entrepreneur Captures the World's Attention (Video)

Caine Monroy is a hero.

We told you about a 9-year-old boy named Caine Monroy who created a makeshift arcade out of cardboard boxes in his dad's auto part store in east Los Angeles. His ingenuity was pretty impressive. His first customer happened to be a filmmaker named Nirvan Mullick who saw the boy's potential and released a video about him.

A year has passed since Mullick posted the video and Caine has captured a lot of attention. He has had articles written about his arcade from Huffington Post, Forbes, and even the New York Times. Over $231,000 has been donated to Caine's Scholarship Fund and a non-profit called the Imagination Foundation has been made to foster creativity and imagination kids have that adults could learn from.
