英国伦敦8岁男童哈利•乔丁可能是目前世界上最年轻的CEO，他经营的“弹珠国王”网店已盈利数千英镑，现在的业务量需要他的妈妈和哥哥们帮助才能处理完。哈利从6岁起开始痴迷弹珠，在学校与同学交换弹珠结果被抢光以后，他和妈妈一起上网想要买一批新的弹珠。他们发现网上卖弹珠的店很少，于是哈利便请求妈妈帮他开了自己的“弹珠国王”网店，没想到开业后不久便来了大量订单。现在，哈利的梦想是进一步扩展自己的业务，并推出自家品牌的弹珠。

　　The 8-year-old boy has his sights set on expanding his business and launching his own brand of marbles.
　　"Sometimes his ideas are so grand we have to scale them back a bit. But his dream is still to own Britain's biggest marble shop and open stores around the world," Tina told The Daily Mail.
