A 14-year-old has taken to TikTok to explain how we too can become millionaires by the age of 20, and people are not impressed.
Yep, according to Sabrina Cardone, there is a straightforward and simple method that makes a six-figure net worth possible, at least for her.
But it's fair to say people are less than convinced and have said Sabrina's tips are pure nonsense.
Nobody really wants to be lectured on their finances by a 14-year-old, do they?

The daughter of entrepreneur and internet celebrity Grant Cardone, Sabrina, explained how she intends to be a millionaire by the time she is 20.
In a video that has been viewed more than one million times since being shared on Grant’s TikTok page last weekend, she explained how easy the plan is.
She said she works for her father, and is paid $4,000 to $5,000 a month. For doing what? Not quite sure, to be honest.
This hefty monthly sum then goes straight into real estate, and according to her own calculations, each year that money is doubled and tripled and will allow her to reach $1 million in the next six years.
Well, sounds good to me, sign me up.
Rather than thank you messages for the pseudo financial wisdom, social media users were quick to dispute her method.
Many remarked that most teenagers don’t have access to jobs that merit $60,000 a year.
Others added that they also don’t have a luxury of being able to put all of their money into investments, with their hard earned cash more likely ending up in the pockets of landlords, utility companies, coffee chains, etc.
A video from another TikToker mocking Sabrina’s comment was shared on Reddit where the community quickly slated her.
“Does she believe it's normal for kids coming out of high school to just fall into a 50k a year job? Which is around the national median. Completely tone deaf but what do you expect from an entitled rich kid,” one user remarked.
“Try not to be too hard on her. She never had a chance. So disturbing,” said another.
“Born on third base and thinks she hit a triple,” joked another.
“Nice to see how out of touch of reality she is this young, inspiring,” another commented.
Yeah, probably shouldn’t turn to children for financial advice, but the optimistic outlook is something positive to take away I guess.
UNILAD has contacted a representative for Grant Cardone for a comment.
