I'm 21 and make up to $280,000 a month reselling sneakers. I don't see my friends much and still live at home.

Robbie Cartwright, a 21-year-old entrepreneur, specializes in reselling sneakers online and reportedly earns up to $280,000 each month. In an as-told-to essay, Cartwright describes his journey into the sneaker reselling business, which began when he was around 11 years old. He has since turned it into a thriving business, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars each year on sneakers before reselling them for significant profits.

Despite his success, Cartwright admits that he rarely sees his friends anymore due to his intense focus on work. He started reselling sneakers when he was around 14 years old, initially aiming to compete in a school challenge to make the most profit from a small investment. By his late teens, reselling had become his main focus, surpassing his academic duties.

Cartwright explains that despite his significant earnings, he doesn't spend much money on personal items, preferring to invest in real estate for long-term wealth building. He remains dedicated to expanding his business, driven by a desire to succeed in the industry and build a family in the future.
